To the tune of Caught Somewhere in Time by Iron Maiden.
If you had the time to lose
An open mind and time to choose
Would you care to take a look
Or is your data an open book?
Time, it’s never on your side
Time, it’s never on your side
If I tempt you, come with me
And maybe you will fulfill your dream
Because I will take you there
Will you come, or are you scared?
Time, it’s never on your side
Time, it’s never on your side
Don’t be afraid, you’re safe with me
Safe as any soul could be … honestly,
Don’t let yourself be
Caught somewhere in time
Caught somewhere in time
Caught somewhere in time … oh, oh
Like a wolf in sheep’s clothing
Your systems hide your deepest sins
And all the things that you’ve done wrong
Do you know where your money’s gone?
Time, it’s never on your side
Time, it’s never on your side
I’ll make you an offer you can’t refuse
You’ve only got your shirt to lose …
Eternally … Just let yourself see you’re
Caught somewhere in time
Caught somewhere in time
Caught now in a bind!
