Oh, what are you gonna do
When there's a part of you
That needs to run with the wind?
And the fire of burning yesterdays
Can only light the way
To lead you from
The garden of the dark
Stay out of shadows now
Looks like the change is on
Tomorrow's never gone
Today just never comes
Go on and jump, yeah
Into the hurricane
You will forget the pain
It's only there
To exorcise your mind
Looking at the world
When you've opened up your eyes
You've got to see the promises they made
They're only lies and broken dreams
Your silence screams
You're living in a time machine
You can choose who you are
Being what you've never been
Someone you've never seen
You're living in a time machine
Oh, what are you gonna do
When every part of you
Just needs to catch that wind?
And the fire of burning yesterdays
Will only light the way
To lead you from
The garden of the dark
Looking at the world
When you've opened up those eyes
You've got to see invisible chains
They're bloody lies and broken dreams
Your silence screams
You're living in a time machine
Nobody cares where you go
Go where you've never been
Take it to somewhere you don't know
You're living in a time machine
Why do you stay who you are?
Be what you've never, never been
Somewhere you've never seen
You're living in a time machine...

From Wikipedia:
"Time Machine" is the 6th track on Dehumanizer, the sixteenth studio album by English rock band Black Sabbath, released on June 22, 1992.
It was Sabbath's first studio album in over a decade to feature vocalist Ronnie James Dio and drummer Vinny Appice, and their first in nine years to feature original bassist Geezer Butler. Initial writing and demo sessions at Rich Bitch Studios in Birmingham featured drummer Cozy Powell; bootlegs of these sessions exist. However, when Powell became injured with a broken hip, he was replaced with Appice. With Appice back in the band, this effectively reunited the Mob Rules lineup. The band spent two weeks writing material before spending six weeks rehearsing and recording demos at Monnow Valley Studios in Wales.
The album's lineup – Dio, Appice, Butler and guitarist Tony Iommi – reunited in 2006 for a greatest hits set, Black Sabbath: The Dio Years, and a new studio album in 2009, The Devil You Know (billed as Heaven & Hell).
The album was re-released, with bonus content, on 7 February 2011.
