| 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 |
| Red |
| Green |
| Yellow |
| Blue |
| Red |
| Green |
| Yellow |
| 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 |
