Time Will Crawl

Lyrics

[Intro] Time will crawl [Verse 1] I've never sailed on a sea I would not challenge a giant I could not take on the church (Time will crawl) 'Til the twenty-first century lose I know a government man He was as blind as the moon, and he— He saw the sun in the night He took a top-gun pilot and he— He made him fly through a hole 'Til he grew real old, and he— And he never came down He just flew 'til he burst [Chorus] Time will crawl 'Til our mouths run dry Time will crawl 'Til our feet grow small Time will crawl 'Til our tails fall off Time will crawl 'Til the twenty-first century lose [Verse 2] I saw a black, black stream Full of white eyed fish And a drowning man With no eyes at all I felt a warm, warm breeze That melted metal and steel I got a bad migraine That lasted three long years And the pills that I took Made my fingers disappear [Chorus] Time will crawl Time will crawl Time will crawl 'Til the twenty-first century lose (Go!) [Interlude] Time will crawl Time will crawl [Verse 3] You were a talented child You came to live in our town We never bothered to scream When your mask went off We only smelt the gas As we lay down to sleep [Chorus] Time will crawl And our heads bowed down Time will crawl And our eyes fall out Time will crawl And the streets run red Time will crawl 'Til the twenty-first century lose [Chorus] And our mouths run dry Time will crawl And our feet grow small Time will crawl And our tails fall off Time will crawl 'Til the twenty-first century lose [Chorus] And our heads bowed down Time will crawl And our eyes fall out Time will crawl And the streets run red Time will crawl 'Til the twenty-first century lose [Outro] (Time will crawl) For the crazy child (Time will crawl) We'll give every life ('Til the twenty-first century lose) For the crackpot notion
