I saw you stand above the crowd
False prophet with a gun
You dove into their arms
Illuminated by the stars
The crowd became a gun
They welded to your sorrow
Speaking in tongues
The music rattled on
And on
A church
Not built of brick and mortar
I made a cold confession
The velvet curtain closes
Creeping like a nun
A narcoleptic shaman
Jim Jones in his bandanna
Handing out the cups
To all the wayward sons
And all the faithful daughters
Every time you led the way
Shaking hands and taking names
Looking for someone to blame
(It's my time)
Flush the monkey down the drain
(It's my time)
Whistleblowers on the run
(It's my time)
Future’s here and now it’s gone
(It's my time)
All the stories never spoken
(It's my time)
And the winds keep blowing
Blue

And when
He stared into the mirror
He only saw a shadow
Void of all description
His eyes
Rolled back into their sockets
Losing all direction
Weighed down by an anchor
Longing to be lifted
Longing to be held
In their arms
Everybody works today
Everybody’s getting paid
Everybody’s on the take
You gotta pay to play
(It's my time)
Gonna drink my fill tonight
(It's my time)
Drink until I see the light
(It's my time)
Take a bullet to the brain
(It's my time)
Flush the monkey down the drain
(It's my time)
Every time you led the way
(It's my time)
Shaking hands and taking names
(It's my time)
Looking for someone to blame
(It's my time)
Flush the monkey down the drain
(It's my time)
Whistleblowers on the run
(It's my time)
Future’s here and now it’s gone
(It's my time)
All the stories never spoken
(It's my time)
And the winds keep blowing
