Time

Time - He´s waiting in the wings
He speaks of senseless things
His script is you and me boys
Time - He flexes like a whore
Falls wanking to the floor
His trick is you and me, boy
Time - In Quaaludes and red wine
Demanding Billy Dolls
And other friends of mine
Take your time
The sniper in the brain, regurgitating drain
Incestuous and vain,
and many other last names
I look at my watch it say 9:25 and I think
"Oh God I´m still alive"
We should be on by now [x2]
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la [repeat]
You - are not a victim
You - just scream with boredom
You - are not evicting time
Chimes - Goddamn, you´re looking old
You´ll freeze and catch a cold
´Cause you´ve left your coat behind
Take your time
Breaking up is hard, but keeping dark is hateful
I had so many dreams,
I had so many breakthroughs
But you, my love, were kind, but love has left you
dreamless
The door to dreams was closed.
Your park was real dreamless
Perhaps you´re smiling now,
smiling through this darkness
But all I had to give was the guilt for dreaming
We should be on by now [x5]
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la [repeat]
Yeah, time!
He speaks of senseless things
His script is you and me boys
Time - He flexes like a whore
Falls wanking to the floor
His trick is you and me, boy
Time - In Quaaludes and red wine
Demanding Billy Dolls
And other friends of mine
Take your time
The sniper in the brain, regurgitating drain
Incestuous and vain,
and many other last names
I look at my watch it say 9:25 and I think
"Oh God I´m still alive"

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la [repeat]
You - are not a victim
