The Tattered Rhapsodies - Time Travel Blues

Crossed the quantum realm
Found the wormhole, too
Got my hand on the wheel
Now I don't know what to do

Lord have mercy on me
I've got the time travel blues

We had it all worked out
We had a mighty plan
I brought the whole thing down
Like some ruptured old dam

Lord have mercy on me
I've got the time travel blues

You know the part where we go back
And take out all the bad pieces?
Well did anyone consider
Our future nephews and nieces?

You see the problem here is not
The physics of flight
But what if making one more edit
Leads to something less than right?

Lord have mercy on me
I've got the time travel blues

No, I cannot pull the lever
I've got the time travel blues

The future's ours to make, but
No assurance can be found
Like some cosmic Jenga game
Will it all come crashing down?

Will it all come crashing down?
How I wish that I knew
Will it all come crashing down?
I've got the time travel blues

When I saw it in the movies
It seemed so perfectly fated
I thought I'd feel like a hero
And rather emancipated

We've come a long, long way
There is no turning back
But wouldn't it be for the best
If we keep things on the track?

If we keep things on the track
And stick with things that we knew
I'm afraid to play God
I've got the time travel blues

If we delete the world's problems
Where does that leave me and you?

If we delete the world's problems
Where does that leave me and you?
