Well,  if it ain't your time to go  then you'd better  stay put for now
Everybody's got  to do their time  until it's time
 And if it ain't  broken then break  it and say  you knew me way back when
 When fools  were fools and all  the rest were swine  waiting to be defiled
 I could hang  up my shingles out  by the side of the road
Try  to bang the blame  out of the cinders  you left behind
 Like a driftwood  in the night  that was washed  up by the light
 Of the moon  that bleached my bones  then sent  me to the pile
Mustard  in your smile,  land that hand  on the radio dial
 Then the breezes  of the season  have blown  us back to hell
 It's a stolen telephone  that I dialed,  blind and alone
Just  to hear the voice  of a bargain  center soul
 Now the deserts  are in flame  and the bandages  are the same
 And the factory's  casualties  are looking  for mangled jewels
 Well if it ain't  your time to go,  then you better  stay put for now
 'Cause everybody's got  to put their hand  upon the hand  of the clock
 Like the minds  of misers grinding  down their gears  to a halt
