I etched the face of a stopwatch
On the back of a raindrop
And did a swap for the sand in an hourglass.
I heard the nun happy ending it sort of sounds like you’re leaving
I heard the piledriver waltz, it woke me up this morning.
You look like you’ve been for breakfast at the heartbreak hotel
Inside of a back booth by the pamphlets and the literature on how to lose.
Your waitress was miserable and so was your food.
If you’re gonna try and walk on water make sure you wear your comfortable shoes.
