Time Will Crawl

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
I've never sailed on a seaI would not challenge a giantI could not take on the churchTime will crawlTill the 21st century loseI know a government manHe was as blind as the moonHe saw the sun in the nightHe took a top-gun pilotHe made him fly thru a holeTill he grew real oldAnd he never came downHe just flew till he burstTime 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 loseI 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 disappearTime will crawl, time will crawlTime will crawlTill the 21st century loseYou 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 sleepTime 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 loseTime 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 loseTime 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 loseFor the crazy childWe'll give every lifeFor the crackpot notion
