Transcript
00:00That dog is vicious, with a smile on his face
00:10And being roughshod and mobile, in braidsness
00:15And Peter's crying wolf, this week he's eating from the streets
00:20With one chew on, with one chew off, he's crawling on his feet
00:25Now there's warnings moving, clock rising, my direction
00:31With the morning just in touch and push it up
00:36There's a, a alarm at the sunrise, and what's my attention?
00:42But my laptop knows I need to turn my fingers aside to understand
00:55Changed my religion and I went to the east
01:08And I checked my local paper for the mark of the beast

01:24Now there's warnings moving, clock rising, my direction
01:30Wake up your name just in time to push it up
01:35There's a, a alarm at the sunrise, and what's my attention?
01:41But my lights are printed needles, and my friend moves the score to the score
01:47My friend is happy, she moves to the breeze
02:08And she devotes her energy to save in the trees
02:13While I hear the people dying on their knees
02:19While we're two of a million for ignoring their peace
02:24While there's eyes moving, clock rising, my direction
02:29Wake up your name just in time to push it up
02:34There's a, a alarm at the sunrise, and what's my attention?
02:40But my laptop runs and needles, and my numbers are slow, too slow, too slow
02:48My hands are steady and I look to the skies
03:01And I ask for a messenger, no more replies
03:06I see jets over Jordan, and tears in the eyes
03:12Of all, people who went there while society lies
03:17Now there's all that's moving, clock rising, my direction
03:23Wake up your mind just in time to push in the road
03:28There's a, a alarm at the sunrise, and what's my attention?
03:33But my heads are pins and needles, and my fingers are slow
