Lyrics Time Will Break The World - Silver Jews

Time Will Break The World

The sun and the shutters and the sun shattered hair
The butler hesitates at the top of the stairs
A kitten from Great Britain sleeps behind the drapes
An old silver bowl filled with apples and grapes
It’s so very cold in the mansion after sunset
The snow is blowing through the baseboard outlets
And I have no idea what drives you, mister
Tanning beds explode with rich women inside
All my poor, hungry children
All my poor, hungry children
All my poor, hungry children
Time will break the world
Time will break the world
Time will break the world
The snow falls down so beautiful and stupid
For the black silhoutte of Abraham Lincoln trees
The sky’s low and grey like a Japanese table
And my horse’s legs look like four brown shotguns
The icicles are dripping like the whole house is weeping
On an evil little car with gull-wing doors
And I have no idea what drives you, mister
But I’ve killed you in my mind so many times before
All my poor, hungry children
All my poor, hungry children
All my poor, hungry children
Time will break the world
Time will break the world
Time will break the world
