I've never sailed on a sea
|
I would not challenge a giant
|
I could not take on the church
|
Time will crawl
|
Till the 21st century lose
|
|
I know a government man
|
He was as blind as the moon
|
He saw the sun in the night
|
He took a top-gun pilot and he
|
He made him fly thru a hole
|
Till he grew real old
|
And he never came down
|
He just flew till he burst
|
|
Time will crawl
|
Till our mouths
|
run dry
|
Time will crawl
|
Till our feet
|
grow small
|
Time will crawl
|
Till our tails
|
fall off
|
Time will crawl
|
till the 21st century lose
|
|
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
|
|
Time will crawl, time will crawl
|
Time will crawl
|
Till the 21st century lose
|
|
You were a talented child
|
You came to live in our town
|
We never bothered to scream
|
When your mask came off
|
We only smelt the gas
|
As we lay down to sleep
|
|
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
|
till the 21st century lose
|
|
Time will crawl
|
and our mouths run dry
|
Time will crawl
|
and our feet grow small
|
Time will crawl
|
and our tails fall off
|
Time will crawl
|
till the 21st century lose
|
|
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
|
till the 21st century lose
|
|
For the crazy child
|
We'll give every life
|
For the crackpot notion
|
