lyrics

Well I'm sitting here stoned once again
And I'm picking at the ends of all these threads
Unraveling the seams of every single tie that binds
Sometimes it's just so easy wastin' time

So I start sniffing at the glue on my cigarette
And I'm trying to find out where the damn thing ends
I think I'll take a trip out to where nothing goes as planned
And wind my clockwork mind up once again

Oh-ho, but time don't give a damn if we fall apart
And livings just as easy as a dream
And there's nothing in this whole wide world like falling over your feet
So get up my friends, this ain't no time to sleep

And I'm trying to drive around in my broke down car
But I never can seem to take her very far
'Cause every time I make her sweat, she stinks like gasoline
And I don't mind dying, but I'm trying to keep me clean

So I start looking 'round for something that I can grow
But someone's poisoned all the seeds I sow
It seems the gift horses get fed, while all the farm hands just get bit
I'm just waiting to see where that flood is gonna hit

Oh-ho, 'cause time don't give a damn if we fall apart
And livings just as easy as a dream
And there's nothing in this whole wide world like falling against the wind
So get up my friends, this ain't no time to sleep

And I'm rocking back and forth in my rocking chair
And I'm trying my best not to breathe recycled air
'Cause I get a little motion sick, when I can't be alone
So for tonight, Honey, I ain't coming home

Oh-ho, but time don't give a damn if we fall apart
And loving's just as easy as a dream
And there's nothing in this whole wide world like falling head over heels
So get up my friends, this ain't no time to sleep
Yeah, get up, this ain't no time to sleep
