Now Lover Peter Hammill

[Verse 1]
In the here and now...
Between sensation at the nerve-ends
And arrival of information at the cortex
Time elapses
So, you see, each time we touch
We did so in the past

[Chorus 1]
Oh, now, lover
Slicing through time in a perfect curve
Due for a moment of energy;
Somehow we'll get what we most deserve
In the here and now

[Verse 2]
In the here and now
Although completely different people (Although completely different people)
In the moments (In the moments) before and after having sex (Before and after having sex)
We are time-locked (We are time-locked, we are time-locked, we are time-locked)
Cracked, forgotten statues, we are strangled in the undergrowth
Lost in ancient magic, we are motion, we are wonderful flow
We are time-locked
Unknowing of the code
But addicted to the pulse (Pulse, pulse, pulse, pulse, pulse, pulse, pulse)
