He took a watch on a chain from a waistcoat pocket Unhooked the clasp Flipped open the lid Inside's a universe of constellations Said "What's the time Mr Rabbit?" He said, "It’s closing time"
Won't be long we hit the low point on the high road If you do your sums Or the high point on the dirt road Then we'll soon be done I said Buddy tell me how does this work On this lamppost it read DOG It read AND It read EVE It read EVOL Backwards
Old man, what do you see We're just bugs heading into a windscreen The constellations pulsed and glowed Reading the future in the guts of a cane toad The angle of stars when you're conceived The point of return written into your genes I conceive when I breathe.
He took a bleached white bone from his pocket (an inside pocket) Mumbled a spell Sound like a song Petitioned his gods with prayer as if his life depended on it Said "What's the time Mr Rabbit?" He said, "There is no time" Used the bone to let some blood fall on the parched land Then he passed it on He let my blood spill on the parched land I took up his song
Sang, "Buddy tell me how does this work?" With my blood He wrote, AND He wrote, EVE He wrote, DOG He wrote, EVOL Backwards.
Old man, what do you see? We're just bugs heading into a windscreen The constellations pulsed and glowed I saw the future in the guts of a cane toad The angle of stars when you're conceived The futures melting, melting like ice cream I conceive when I dream
There's monsters coming to get you
Closing time Dreams come true We collude There's monsters coming to get you
