Time lyrics

Time, he's waiting in the wings

He speaks of senseless things

His script is you and me boy

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

Oh well I look at my watch

It says 9:25 and I think

"Oh God, I'm still alive"

We should be on by now

We should be on by now

La la la la la

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 and dreamless

Perhaps you're smiling now

Smiling through this darkness

But all I had to give

Was guilt for dreaming

We should be on by now

We should be on by now

We should be on by now

We should be on by now

La la la la la

Yeah, time
