Lyrics for Song: The Captain and the Hourglass
Lyrics for Album: Alas I Cannot Swim [2008]
You kick the blow, now you gotta kick the guy
You sat alone, under billowing sky
If I feel God, judging me
Well I fell into the water, now I'm free
My friends don't really get me, think I'm the only one
Well I sold my soul to Jesus and since then I've had no fun
Behind every tree's a cutting machine and a kite fallen from grace
Inside every man is a heart of sand, you can see it in his face
He'll tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick away
Another second lost with every fallen grain
He'll tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick away
Another second lost with every fallen grain
The wind and I we speak the same, but he don't hear so well
You're gonna have to curse him, well you're gonna have to yell
And the sky and I we've had our fights, and I'm coming round to rain
If the rain come round and it don't come out then I'll never have to
speak again
I can tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick away
Another second lost with every fallen grain
Can tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick away
Another second lost with every fallen grain
The captain's got his boots on and he's heading out the door
Leaving his lady alone thinking "He don't love me no more"
He's done with all this bullshit he's going back to war
If heaven is as heaven does then this is hell for sure
And he'll tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick away
Another second lost with every fallen grain
He'll tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick away
Another second lost with every fallen grain
You kick the blow, now you gotta kick the guy
You sat alone, under billowing sky
If I feel God, judging me
Well I fell into the water, now I'm free
