Time

Got a raindrop of 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'm 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 papers stimulate 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 deep in my soul

(yes, I have)

Does anybody have the time?

The Holy Ghost

Diesel is the smell of 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 it's used, borrowed, and spent

Good friday, ash wednesday, and a pocket full of lent

Living in a box of cardboard and grit

Made a window, made a sign "Wouldn't mind working a little bit"

(no, I wouldn't)

I've been hurting deep in my soul

(yes, I have)

Does anybody have the time?

The Holy Ghost

I can't sleep and I can't think

Life has pured 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 dirty words

When I get to Heaven will I wear a mask?

That is a question I must ask

I've been hurting deep in my soul

(yeah, I have)

Does anybody have the time?

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?
