Up on the hill
People never stare
They just don't care

Chinese music under banyan trees
Here at the dude ranch above the sea
Aja
When all my dime dancin' is through
I run to you

Up on the hill
They've got time to burn
There's no return

Double helix in the sky tonight
Throw out the hardware
Let's do it right
Aja
When all my dime dancin' is through
I run to you

Up on the hill
They think I'm okay
Or so they say

Chinese music always sets me free
Angular banjoes sound good to me
Aja
When all my dime dancin' is through
I run to you

    "Time Out Of Mind" is, of course, about dope - "chasing the dragon", or smoking, rather than shooting (also referenced here - "throw out the hardware, let's do it right").
