Lyrics: 

Darling remember when you come to me

That I'm the pretender, not what I 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 rode beside
But every word seemed to date her
Time's the revelator, the revelator
Up in the morning, up and on the ride
Drive into Corning, all those spindles whine
And everyday is getting straighter
Time's the revelator, the revelator
Leaving the valley, fucking out of sight
I'll go back to Cali, where I can sleep out every night
And watch the waves, move and fade
Times the revelator, the revelator
Queen of fakes, an imitator
Times the revelator
Lyrics based on 10/28/99 version.
