Father Time

Have you heard about the mice?

They're making love, they're growing up

They made a pact to circle us

Have you heard about the snake?

He figured that he'd shed his skin

Slide away, again begin

It's easier to retreat than to face yourself

And let things fall in place

There's no words to describe the way I feel today

But I still feel okay

Do you think you look like hell?

It's hard to hug you from a shell

Give it up for the snail

It's not easy for the bees

They pack a knife to the job

They try to keep from getting home

It's easier to retreat than to face yourself

And let things fall in place

There's no words to describe the way I feel today

But I still feel okay

The human heart is there to crush

Father time looks over us

You'll miss it all if you rush

Did you listen to the dust?

It waits around without a sound

To gather us so listen

It's easier to retreat than to face yourself

And let things fall in place

There's no words to describe the way I feel today

But I still feel okay

It's easier to retreat than to face yourself

There's no words to describe the way I feel today

But I still feel okay
