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
