The Captain And The Hourglass |
You kicked the blow |
Now you’ve got to kick the guy |
You sat alone |
Under bellowing sky |
If I feel God |
Judging me |
I fell into the water |
And now I’m free |
My friends they don’t really get me |
Think I’m the only one |
Well I sold my soul to Jesus |
And since then I’ve had no fun |
Behind every tree is a cutting machine |
And a kite fallen from grace |
Inside every man is a heart of sand |
You can see it in his face |
And he’ll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away |
Another second lost with every fallen grain |
And he’ll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away |
Another second lost with every fallen grain |
The wind and I we speak the same |
But he don’t hear so well |
If you gonna have to curse him |
Well you’re gonna have to yell |
And the sky and I, we’ve had our fights |
But I’m coming round to rain |
If the rain come out and I don’t go out |
I don’t ever have to speak again |
I can tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away |
Another second lost with every fallen grain |
I can tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away |
Another second lost with every fallen grain |
The captain’s got his boots on and he’s heading out the door |
Leaving his lady alone thinking 'He don’t love me no more.' |
He’s done with all this bullshit, he’s going back to war |
If heaven is as heaven does then this is hell for sure |
And he’ll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away |
Another second lost with every fallen grain |
And he’ll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away |
Another second lost with every fallen grain |
You kicked the blow |
Now you’ve got to kick the guy |
You sat alone |
Under bellowing sky |
If I feel God |
Judging me |
I fell into the water |
And now I’m free |
