time will crawl (single version) - david bowie lyrics

[intro]
time will crawl

[verse 1]
i’ve never sailed on a sea
i would not challenge a giant
i could not take on the church (time will crawl)
’til the twenty*first century lose
i know a government man
he was as blind as the moon, and he—
he saw the sun in the night
he took a top*gun pilot and he—
he made him fly through a hole
’til he grew real old, and he—
and he never came down
he just flew ’til he burst

[chorus]
time will crawl
’til our mouths run dry
time will crawl
’til our feet grow small
time will crawl
’til our tails fall off
time will crawl
’til the twenty*first century lose
[verse 2]
i saw a black, black stream
full of white eyed fish
and a drowning man
with no eyes at all
i felt a warm, warm breeze
that melted metal and steel
i got a bad migraine
that lasted three long years
and the pills that i took
made my fingers disappear

[chorus]
time will crawl
time will crawl
time will crawl
’til the twenty*first century lose
(go!)

[interlude]
time will crawl
time will crawl

[verse 3]
you were a talented child
you came to live in our town
we never bothered to scream
when your mask went off
we only smelt the gas
as we lay down to sleep
[chorus]
time will crawl
and our heads bowed down
time will crawl
and our eyes fall out
time will crawl
and the streets run red
time will crawl
’til the twenty*first century lose

[chorus]
and our mouths run dry
time will crawl
and our feet grow small
time will crawl
and our tails fall off
time will crawl
’til the twenty*first century lose

[outro]
(time will crawl)
for the crazy child
(time will crawl)
we’ll give every life
(’til the twenty*first century lose)
for the crackpot notion
(time will crawl)
(time will crawl)
