Alas I Cannot Swim
Captain And The Hourglass
You kick the blow, now you gotta kick the guy
You sat alone under billowing sky
If I feel God judging me,
Well I fell into the water, now Iââ¬â¢m free.
My friends donââ¬â¢t really get me, think Iââ¬â¢m the only one
Well i sold my soul to jesus and since then ive had no fun
Behind every tree is a cutting machine and a kite fallen from grace
Inside every man is a heart of sand you can see it in his face.
Heââ¬â¢ll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away.
Another second lost with every fallen grain.
Heââ¬â¢ll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away.
Another second lost with every fallen grain.
The wind and I, we speak the same, but he donââ¬â¢t hear so well.
Youââ¬â¢re gonna have to curse him well youââ¬â¢re gonna have to yell.
The sky and I, weââ¬â¢ve had our fights and Iââ¬â¢m coming down to rain,
If the rain come round and it donââ¬â¢t come out, then Iââ¬â¢ll never have to speak again,
I can tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away.
Another second lost with every fallen grain.
Can tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away.
Another second lost with every fallen grain.
The captains got his boots on and heââ¬â¢s heading out the door,
Leaving his lady alone thinkinââ¬â¢ ââ¬ËHe donââ¬â¢t love me no more.ââ¬â¢
Heââ¬â¢s done with all this bullshit, Heââ¬â¢s going back to war,
If Heaven is as Heaven does then this is Hell for sure...
And Heââ¬â¢ll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away.
Another second lost with every fallen grain.
Heââ¬â¢ll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away.
Another second lost with every fallen grain.
*You kick the blow, now you gotta kick the guy
You sat alone under billowing sky*
If I feel God judging me,
Well I fell into the water, now Iââ¬â¢m free...
