Transcript
00:00That dog is vicious with a smile on his face
00:09County roughshod and mobile with bread as lace
00:14And 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 mornings moving clockwise in my direction
00:31Wake up yawning just in time, take a shine of blood
00:36There's a buzz alarm at sunrise and what's my attention
00:41But my legs are pounced and needles and my fingers are slow to say
00:55Change my religion and I look to the east
01:08And I check my local paper for the mark of the beast
01:13It's the trumpets above me that disturb me the least
01:19Till my logical thinking is illogically ceased
01:24Now there's mornings moving clockwise in my direction
01:30Wake up yawning just in time to push and blow
01:35There's a buzz alarm at sunrise and what's my attention
01:40But my legs are pounced and needles and my fingers are slow to slow
01:47My friend is happy she moves to the breeze
02:07And she devotes her energy to saving the trees
02:12While I think of people dying on their knees
02:17While we're two of the millions more ignoring their pleas
02:23While there's nights moving clockwise in my direction
02:29Wake up yawning just in time to push and blow
02:33There's a buzz alarm at sunrise and what's my attention
02:39But my legs are pounced and needles and my fingers are slow to slow to slow to slow
02:56My hands are steady and I look to the skies
03:00And I ask for a messenger and love for replies
03:06I see jets over Jordan and tears in the eyes
03:11Of a people who weather why society lies
03:16Now there's mornings moving clockwise in my direction
03:22Where are the morning jets in time to push and blow
03:27There's a buzz alarm at sunrise and what's my attention
03:32But my legs are pounced and needles and my fingers are slow to slow and slow to slow to slow down
