Time Will Crawl
I've never sailed on a seaI would not challenge a giantI could not take on the churchTime will crawl 'till the 21st century lose
I know a government manHe was as blind as the moonHe saw the sun in the nightHe took a top-gun pilot and heHe made him fly thru a hole'Till he grew real oldAnd he never came downHe just flew 'till he burst
Time will crawl 'till our mouths run dryTime will crawl 'till our feet grow smallTime will crawl 'till our tails fall offTime will crawl 'till the 21st century lose
I saw a black black streamFull of white eyed fishAnd a drowning manWith no eyes at allI felt a warm warm breezeThat melted metal and steelI got a bad migraineThat lasted three long yearsAnd the pills that I tookMade my fingers disappear
Time will crawl, time will crawlTime will crawl 'till the 21st century lose
You were a talented childYou came to live in our townWe never bothered to screamWhen your mask came offWe only smelt the gasAs we lay down to sleep
Time will crawl and our heads bowed downTime will crawl and our eyes fall outTime will crawl and the streets run redTime will crawl 'till the 21st century lose
Time will crawl and our mouths run dryTime will crawl and our feet grow smallTime will crawl and our tails fall offTime will crawl 'till the 21st century lose
Time will crawl and our heads bowed downTime will crawl and our eyes fall outTime will crawl and the streets run redTime will crawl 'till the 21st century lose
For the crazy childWe'll give every lifeFor the crackpot notion
