Strum
D-DU-UDU
Time he's waiting in the wings he speaks of senseless things
His script is you and me boys
Time he flexes like a whore falls wanking to the floor
His trick is you and me, boy
Time in Quaaludes and red wine demanding Billy Dolls
And other friends of mine take your time
The sniper in the brain regurgitating drain
Incestuous and vain and many other last names
I look at my watch it says 9:25 and I think Oh God I'm still alive
We should be on by now
We should be on by now
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
You are not a victim you just scream with boredom
You are not evicting time
Chimes Goddamn you're looking old you'll freeze and catch a cold
'Cause you've left your coat behind take your time
Breaking up is hard but keeping dark is hateful
I had so many dreams I had so many breakthroughs
But you my love were kind but love has left you dreamless
The door to dreams was closed your path was real dreamless
Perhaps you're smiling now smiling through this darkness
But all I had to give was guilt for dreaming
We should be on by now We should be on by now
We should be on by now We should be on by now
We should be on by now
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Yeah, time!
