Time Clocks

[Verse 1] I was never a great puncher of timeclocks I was never the one who had lots Was only good at one thing Ringing bells, kissing rings A heart can't heal once padlocked Was never meant the one who was tedious I always wanted to be the one who leads us On things that came to mind Never on someone else's dime As the hunter explains to the fox [Chorus] And the rain's soaking through my coat About to capsize my boat I push it a long way from the docks I was nevеr a good puncher of timeclocks As the rain has chillеd me to the bone I'm flat-out tired and alone I put it away, now it's locked I was never a good puncher of timeclocks [Verse 3] I was never a teller of stories Didn't need to thrive on the glory It's about life of a man Victim time and time again Hard as hell to get up in the morning [Chorus] And the rain's soaking through my coat It's about to capsize my boat I push it a long way from the docks I was never a good puncher of timeclocks The rain has chilled me to the bone I'm flat-out tired and alone I put it away, now it's locked I was never a good puncher of timeclocks [Verse 4] Regrets to stoke the fires Clay pigeon and the ignorant liars The view from my window as the pouring rain seeps I'm too scared to look down in the deep [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] Make no illusions About your forgone conclusions Time will set you back, will heal all your wounds And if the darkness sets in, it creeps up on you Like a man typecast the fool [Chorus] And the rain's soaking through my coat About to capsize my boat I push it a long way from the docks I was never a good puncher of timeclocks And the rain has chilled me to the bone I'm flat-out tired and alone I put it away, now it's locked I was never a good puncher of timeclocks
