This song reminds me about the (2001) film Donnie Darko. It's weird, because Somewhere in Time was released in '86.
"Time is always on my side" brings an instant image of Frank the Rabbit to mind.
It's probably about time itself, if you look closely, the album itself is:
Wasted Years: Running out of time, realizing it's to late to go back
Sea of Madness: maybe somebody did something terrible (murder?) and wants to rewind time, but they can't, thus remaining in the Sea of Madness
Heaven Can Wait: Near-Death Experience
The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner: cross-country runner, eyes always on a clock, like in the short-story
Stranger in A Strange Land: how somebody got preserved in ice, thus time remains still for them, them never being able to move, yet
Déjà Vu: that odd feeling, like you've been somewhere before
