Well the smart moneys on harlow and the moon is in the street And the shadow boys are breaking all the laws And youre east of east saint louis and the wind is making speeches And the rain sounds like a round of applause And napoleon is weeping in a carnival saloon His invisible fiancees in the mirror And the band is going home, its raining hammers, its raining nails And its true theres nothing left for him down here
And its time time time, and its time time time And its time time time that you love And its time time time
And they all pretend theyre orphans and their memorys like a train You can see it getting smaller as it pulls away And the things you cant remember tell the things you cant forget That history puts a saint in every dream
Well she said shed stick around until the bandages came off But these mamas boys just dont know when to quit And mathilda asks the sailors are those dreams or are those prayers? So close your eyes, son, and this wont hurt a bit
Oh its time time time, and its time time time And its time time time that you love And its time time time
Well things are pretty lousy for a calendar girl The boys just dive right off the cars and splash into the street And when theyre on a roll she pulls a razor from her boot And a thousand pigeons fall around her feet So put a candle in the window and a kiss upon his lips As the dish outside the window fills with rain Just like a stranger with the weeds in your heart And pay the fiddler off til I come back again
Oh its time time time, and its time time time And its time time time that you love And its time time time And its time time time, and its time time time And its time time time that you love And its time time time
