Common Time Songtext
von Beatenberg

Try teachin′ me love with a circle and a square drawn in the sand
Try see from above what you cannot see from where you stand
Mmh-mmh
Try playing a four-part fugue on a small elastic band

I'm talkin′ common time, common time, simple and true
I hear it all the time, in my mind, really I do
I'm talkin' common time, common time, products of two
Common to everyone, common to me and to you


Try blowin′ a conch if you′re overwhelmed with your desire
Try burnin' your scattered thoughts in a single focused fire
Mmh-mmh
Try showin′ a manuscript to a large unruly choir

I'm talkin′ common time, common time, simple and true
I hear it all the time, in my mind, really I do
I'm talkin′ common time, common time, products of two
Common to everyone, common to me and to you

I'm talkin' common time, common time, simple and true
I hear it all the time, in my mind, really I do
I′m talkin′ common time, common time, products of two
Common to everyone, common to me and to you
