Time
Hurricane Annie ripped the ceiling of a church And killed everyone inside You turn on the telly and every other story Tellin' you somebody died
Sister killed her baby 'cause she could afford to feed it They were sending rockets to the moon September my cousin tried reefer for the very first time Now he's doing horse, it's June
Time, time, yeah
It's silly no, when a rocket ship explodes Everybody still want to fly Some say a man ain't happy Unless a man truly dies, oh why?
Time, time, time
Baby make a speech, star wars fly Neighbors just shine it on But if the night falls and a bomb falls Then everybody sees dawn
Time, time
It's silly now, when a rocket ship explodes Everybody still wants to fly Some say a man ain't happy, truly, yeah Until he dies, oh why?
Time, time, time, time
