I saw you stand above the crowd

False prophet with a gun

You dove into their arms

Illuminated by the stars

The crowd became a gun

They welded to your sorrow

Speaking in tongues

The music rattled on

And on

A church

Not built of brick and mortar

I made a cold confession

The velvet curtain closes

Creeping like a nun

A narcoleptic shaman

Jim Jones in his bandanna

Handing out the cups

To all the wayward sons

And all the faithful daughters

Every time you led the way

Shaking hands and taking names

Looking for someone to blame

(It's my time)

Flush the monkey down the drain

(It's my time)

Whistleblowers on the run

(It's my time)

Future's here and now it's gone

(It's my time)

All the stories never spoken

(It's my time)

And the winds keep blowing

Blue

And when

He stared into the mirror

He only saw a shadow

Void of all description

His eyes

Rolled back into their sockets

Losing all direction

Weighed down by an anchor

Longing to be lifted

Longing to be held

In their arms

Everybody works today

Everybody's getting paid

Everybody's on the take

You gotta pay to play

(It's my time)

Gonna drink my fill tonight

(It's my time)

Drink until I see the light

(It's my time)

Take a bullet to the brain

(It's my time)

Flush the monkey down the drain

(It's my time)

Every time you led the way

(It's my time)

Shaking hands and taking names

(It's my time)

Looking for someone to blame

(It's my time)

Flush the monkey down the drain

(It's my time)

Whistleblowers on the run

(It's my time)

Future's here and now it's gone

(It's my time)

All the stories never spoken

(It's my time)

And the winds keep blowing
