The Time Being

歌詞

Every day As you notice the sun slips away A strange turbulence fills the air Gargoyles and winged monkeys Descend into the city Their teeth are bared, their claws outstretched Down in the pit I sense the unforgiving night rain down on the overworld And its souls' unrest As the temptation fades out You jerk back into yourself As if falling from a dream Down comes the rain Hot clear rain Washing away our sins Washing away the statues of Sharon Stone Erosion of my solitude Begins its race And worms finally penetrating the warmth of my hiding place Slithering in the blackness All their coldness repels me I use a .45 to give them some stick Lightning and thunder cause the walls to shake And someone searching through the debris For the photograph of his wife Oh I want life I want it now and forever I want to rise up out of this chamber and clamber into the sky
