| Wild palms in the hinterland
|
| Stretches of yellow sand
|
| A blue bird trapped in my hand
|
| It’s hard to understand
|
| It must be a sign of the times, times
|
| It must be a sign of the time
|
| Time, time, time, time
|
| My friend can’t talk no more
|
| He just gazes at his kitchen floor
|
| Building a boat that will never float
|
| Packing it with animals and bags of oats
|
| Must be, yes, a sign of the times, times
|
| It must be a sign of the times
|
| Sign of the times
|
| Oh, give me a sign, oh, what is the sign?
|
| Oh, what is their line? |
| Oh, a sign, a sign
|
| Any sign, any line, any time
|
| Any sigh, any lie, not mine, not mine
|
| I’m building, what am I building?
|
| I’m working, why am I working?
|
| My hands are clean and never dirty
|
| I wear something and it hurts me
|
| Must be my sign of the times
|
| Must be, yes, my sign of the times
|
| Sign of the times
|
| Must be, give me a sign
|
| Oh, any sign, oh, any sign
|
| Oh, any line, any sign, any rhyme
|
| Any time, not mine, it’s not mine
|
| It’s not mine, it’s not mine
|
| It’s not mine, it’s not mine
|
| My mother, she knows
|
| I really think she knows
|
| Taken to painting her toes
|
| Taken to wear those odd clothes
|
| Must be a sign of the times, times
|
| Must be a sign of the times, times
|
| Sign of the times
|
| So you can help me
|
| Let me know you can help me
|
| Make it a positive sign
|
| 'Cause this face is not really mine
|
| Must be a sign of my mind, mind, mind, mind
|
| Must be a sign of the times
|
| Sign of the time
|
| A sign of the times
|
| My face is not mine
|
| My face is not mine |
