Father Time

Blind Melon · Introducing James Brown [2010]

Have you heard about the mice

They're makin love they're growin up

They made it back to circle us

Have you heard about the snake

He figured that he'd shed his skin

Slide away, again, begin



It's easy to retreat than to face yourself

And let things fall in place

There's no words to describe the way I feel today

But I still feel okay



Do you think you look like hell

It's hard to hug you from a shell

Give it up for the snail

It's not easy for the bees

They pack a knife, to the job

They try to keep from getting robbed



It's easy to retreat than to face yourself

And let things fall in place

There's no words to describe the way I feel today

But I still feel okay



Human heart is that a crush

Father time looks over us

You'll miss it all if you rush

Did you listen to the doors

It waits around without a sound

So gather round so listen whoooooaoaaaaaoaoooaoaoa



It's easy to retreat than to face yourself

And let things fall in place

There's no words to describe the way I feel today

But I still feel okay (repeat)
