Time

Got a raindrop on the tip of my tongue
If I get all I want I'll have to give you some
I'm the beggar, the thorn in the brow
I am the cross you force
And twist into the ground

Butter so stiff that it wounds my bread
Got a dew drop omelette on a trash can lid
Ain't got no loafers to warm my feet
And the funny paper stimulates comic strip heat

Crack vials breaking
Like a shotgun blast
How long can the sounds
Of a cat fight last
Howling at the moon
For friends who have passed
On Sunday we'll fly black flags from the mast

I've been hurting
(been hurtin)
Deep in my soul
Does anybody have the time
(does anybody)
The Holy Ghost

Diesel is the smell
On a Mississippi grill
I played trombone once
For a delta dollar bill
Pull the snow around me
Snug like a blanket of wool
If I lie here to freeze to death
I'd be another fox hole fool

I got nothing new its used
Borrowed and spent
Good Friday, Ash Wednesday
And a pocket full of lent
Living in a box of cardboard and gray
Made a window, made a sign
Woudn't mind working a little bit
(No I wouldn't)

I've been hurting
(been hurtin)
Deep in my soul
Yes I have
Does anybody have the time
(does anybody)
The Holy Ghost

I can't sleep, and I can't think
Life has poured me a glass that I can't drink
The rim is jagged like a razor blade
And has left a scar that will never fade
My thoughts are daggers on every nerve
Life is a slow song with the dirty words
When I get to heaven will I wear a mask
That is a question that I must ask

I've been hurting
(been hurtin)
Deep in my soul
Yeah I have
Does anybody have the time
(does anybody)
The Holy Ghost

Anybody have the time
(Does anybody have the time)
Anybody have the time
(Anybody)
Does anybody have the time
HEY

Does anybody have the time
Does anybody have the time
