<You kicked the blow,
|
now you've got to kick the guy.
|
You sat alone,
|
under bellowing sky.
|
If I feel God judging me,
|
I fell into the water,
|
And now I'm free.
|
|
My friends they 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 is a cutting machine,
|
and a kite fallen from grace,
|
Inside every man is a heart of sand,
|
you can see it in his face.
|
|
And he'll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away,
|
Another second lost with every fallen grain.
|
And 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,
|
If you gonna have to curse him,
|
well you're gonna have to yell.
|
And the sky and I we've had our fights but I'm coming round to rain,
|
If the rain come out,
|
and I don't go out,
|
I don't ever have to speak again.
|
|
I can tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away,
|
Another second lost with every fallen grain.
|
I 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 his 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.
|
And he'll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away,
|
Another second lost with every fallen grain.
|
|
You kicked the blow,
|
now you've got to kick the guy.
|
You sat alone,
|
under bellowing sky.
|
If I feel God judging me,
|
I fell into the water,
|
And now I'm free.>
