There's this guy in a hole and his arms are unjointed and he sways There's a gap where his eyes used to stare disappointed at the days We don't have much time to say all the things we have to say But still we pay mind to the flesh that's destined for decay.
There's a book that I read made of muscle and sinew from my side Though the writing is poor I'm about to continue for a line We don't have much time to say all the things we have to say But still we pay mind to the flesh that's destined for decay
There's a song in my mouth struggling hard to escape me while it may Though it's viscous and raw, too naive and unshapely to betray We don't have much time to say all the things we have to say But still we pay mind to the flesh that's destined for decay.
And we don't want to waste our time In case we're past our peak and prime And now must fall into decay So close your eyes and close your mind Pretend with me that we have climbed Out of the shadow of the grave.
There's a bone in my hand freshly wrenched from the manhole at my feet And it writes in the book, dripping words I untangle from the meat We don't have much time to say all the things we have to say But still we pay mind to the flesh that's destined the clay.
And we don't want to waste our time In case we're past our peak and prime And now must fall into decay So close your eyes and close your mind Pretend with me that we have climbed Out of the shadow of the grave
