Time will swallow
|
Your precious time
|
Like magic create the future
|
|
What makes man so fickle ?
|
Who put the daggers in those eyes ?
|
Was it to learn
|
Through dark days of struggle ?
|
Was it to burn
|
To burst all our bubbles ?
|
Thunder and rain
|
Well the cynicle flame will it heat, stick and blister ?
|
Thunder and rain
|
|
Evangelistic brother
|
Should be banging a tambourine
|
Go wash your hands and fingers
|
Till your mind is clean
|
|
Was it your fate
|
To sleep like a normal ?
|
Time and decay
|
No man is immortal
|
Thunder and rain
|
Boredom and pain lit the cynical flame
|
Will it heat stick and blister ?
|
Thunder and rain
|
Still try to resist the pessimist
|
The pessimist no no
|
|
And these things I find
|
In the back of my mind
|
Where time lasts forever
|
I get all mixed
|
Think I'm all mankind
|
|
Listen Mr Pessimister
|
With your Catholic taste
|
Oh listen Mr Pessimister Pessimister
|
We do not relate
|
Listen Mr Pessimister, Pessimister, Pessimister
|
Mr Pessimister
|
|

Mr. Pessimist
