The Battle of Time

John Frusciante

Seems to be away is peachy now

Feel like may be far at all

I've got these clothes to deceive me

I've been lost all along

You've got a mouth that's bigger

I've got a man on the side

You'll see my lie

You've got a town to speak to

You've got rented dye

I drive it around somewhere

Before I was alive

I was alive _________

You've got a mountain beneath you

You're always known in archives

I'll always have the side

All the times of hate

All around, this is here

You've got a running see-saw (it's me inside)

That's what I heard (it's the battle of time)

I have always felt fine (I know, hey)

I've nothing no-one nowhere

hey... (cool solo)

Version 2:

transcribed by Nadia :

Seems to be the way it'll be now

Feeling me before it all (?)

I've got these roads to deceive me

I've been lost on them all

You've got a mouth to feed

I've got a man on the side

You'll see my lie

You've got a town to speak to

You've got rented dye

I drive it around somewhere

Before I was alive

I was alive _________

You've got a mountain beneath you

You're always known in archives

I'll always have the side

All the times of hate

All around, this is here

You've got a running see-saw (it's me inside)

That's what I heard (it's the battle of time)

I have always felt fine (I know, hey)

I've nothing no-one nowhere

hey... (cool solo)
