time on the floor demo by Bot & Badger
published on
Well i went swimming in the ocean now,
right past the tensions and the screaming men,
they said they want it but they didn't tell me how,
said they want it but they didn't tell me how
so i offered a great deal of sympathy,
'bout time i went and did a good deed
but the younger folks continue to scowl at me
so i pick up a shovel and continue to be
then the clock falls right off the wall
spilling time on the floor
pack it up, make yr move, keep breathing
pay no mind to the door
when i was young i knew the world was mine
i lost my inhibitions and i lost my mind
my other half tells me that i'm doing just fine
so i can start guessing and just give up trying
it's beautiful that yr all here tonight,
it's been so long that i think i just might
go on about the future and go on about the past
of course that's fine i thought you never would have asked
then the clock falls right off the wall,
spilling time on the floor,
pack it up, make yr move, keep breathing,
pay no mind to the door
i'm sorry to go off on such a pointless rant,
hope you didn't cancel yr important plans
to sit here and laugh at the mistakes of man
there's just so many mistakes of man
but let's not jump to conclusions yet,
time on the floor is some time well spent,
so flip to the front and start it over again,
and maybe we'll find out what it really should have meant
so i went swimming through an idle mind
right past the dwelling and the wasted time
i'll say i need it but i won't remember why
swear to god i need it but i won't remember why
so i throw the clock at the wall, spilling time on the floor
sweep it up, run away keep breathing
yr not here anymore,
......and stop.
