Well, the smart money's on Harlow
|
And the moon is in the street
|
The shadow boys are breaking all the laws
|
And you're east of East St. Louis
|
And the wind is making speeches
|
And the rain sounds like a round of applause
|
Napoleon is weeping in the Carnival saloon
|
His invisible fiance is in the mirror
|
The band is going home
|
It's raining hammers, it's raining nails
|
Yes, it's true, there's nothing left for him down here
|
And it's Time Time Time
|
And it's Time Time Time
|
And it's Time Time Time
|
That you love
|
And it's Time Time Time
|
And they all pretend they're orphans
|
And their memory's like a train
|
You can see it getting smaller as it pulls away
|
And the things you can't remember
|
Tell the things you can't forget that
|
History puts a saint in every dream
|
Well she said she'd stick around
|
Until the bandages came off
|
But these mama boys just don't know when to quit
|
And Matilda asks the sailors are those dreams
|
Or are those prayers
|
So just close your eyes son
|
And this won't hurt a bit
|
And it's Time Time Time
|
And it's Time Time Time
|
And it's Time Time Time
|
That you love
|
And it's Time Time Time
|
Well things are pretty lousy for a calendar girl
|
The boys just dive right off the cars
|
And splash into the streets
|
And when they're on a roll
|
she pulls a razor from her boot
|
and a thousand pigeons fall around her feet
|
So put a candle in the window
|
And a kiss upon his lips
|
Till the dish outside the window fills with rain
|
Just like a stranger with the weeds in your heart
|
And pay the fiddler off till I come back again
|
And it's Time Time Time
|
And it's Time Time Time
|
And it's Time Time Time
|
That you love
|
And it's Time Time Time
|
|
And it's Time Time Time
|
And it's Time Time Time
|
And it's Time Time Time
|
That you love
|
And it's Time Time Time
|
