Well if it ain´t your time to go Then you´d better stay put for now Cuz everybody´s gotta 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 rest were swine waiting to be defiled Well i could hang up my single Out by the side of the road And try to bang a flame 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 That sent me to the pile Mustard in your smile Lend a hand on the radio dial And the breezes of the seasons 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 flames And the bandages are the same And the factories, casualties are looking for mangled jewels And if it ain´t your time to go Then you´d better stay put for now Cuz anybody gotta put their hand Upon the hand of the clock Like the minds of misers grinding down their gears to a halt
