Time Will Crawl

David Bowie

I've never sailed on a sea
I would not challenge a giant
I could not take on the church
time will crawl -
till the 21st century lose.
I know a government man
he was as blind as the moon
He saw the sun in the night
he took a top-gun pilot.
He made him fly through a hole till he grew real old
And he never came down
he iust flew till he burst.
Time will crawl - till our mouths run dry
Time will crawl - till our feet arow small
Time will crawl - till our tails rall ofF
Time will crawl - till the 21st century lose.
I saw a black black stream full of white eyed fish
And a drowning man with no eyes at all.
I felt a warm warm breeze that melted metal and steel
I got a bad migraine that lasted three long years.
And the pills that I took made my fingers disappear.
Time will crawl
time will crawl
Time will crawl - till the 21st century lose.
You were a talented child
you came to live in our town
We never bothered to scream when your mask went an
We only smelt the gas as we lay down to sleep.
Time will crawl - and our heads bowed down
Time will crawl - and our eyes fall out
Time will crawl - and the streets run red
Time will crawl - till the 21st century lose.
Time will crawl - till our mouths run dry
. . .
Time will crawl - and our heads bowed down
. . .
Time will crawl - for the crazy child
Time will crawl - we'll give every life
Time will crawl - for the crackpot notion
Time will crawl - till the 21st century lose.
