00:15Can be roughshod and mobile and well-bred as lace

00:26With one shoe on, with one shoe off, he's crawling on his feet
00:31Now there's warnings moving clockwise in my direction
00:37Wake up yawning just in time to push him away

03:10And I ask for a messenger who never replies
03:15I see jets over Jordan and tears in the eyes
03:20Of a people who weather while society lies
03:26Now there's warnings moving clockwise in my direction
03:31Wake up yawning just in time to push him away
