Don't be surprised when every second has its place
Don't be surprised at all
Don't be surprised when all your days are yesterdays
Don't be surprised at all
When the new black is white
And the new low's a high
In the ticking of the time
You'll be mine

Don't be surprised when all your dreams all fade away
Don't be surprised at all
Don't be surprised when every dog has had its day
Don't be surprised at all
When the new black is white
And the new lows are high
Like a lesson learned in time
You'll be mine

Don't be surprised when all the traffic runs to rust
Don't be surprised at all
Don't be surprised when all these houses fall to dust
Don't be surprised at all
When the new black is white
And the new low's a high
In the ticking of the time
You'll be mine

Don't be surprised if they don't want you like I do
Don't be surprised at all
Don't be surprised they'll take back everything they said
Don't be surprised at all
When the new black is white
And the new low's a high
Like the ticking of the time
You'll be mine
