Darling, remember 
 When [bad word] to me
 I'm the pretender
 And not what I'm supposed to be
 But who could know if I'm a traitor
 Time's the revelator

 They caught the katy
 And left me a mule to ride
 The fortune lady 
 Came along, she walked beside
 But every word seemed to date her
 Time's the revelator
 The revelator

 Up in the morning 
 Up and on the ride
 I drive into Corning 
 And all the spindles whine
 And every day is getting straighter
 Time's the revelator
 The revelator

 Leaving the valley 
 [bad word] out of sight
 I'll go back to Cali 
 Where I can sleep out every night 
 And watch the waves and move the fader
 Time's the revelator
 The revelator

 Queen of the fakes and imitators
 Time's the revelator
