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

'Til the twenty-first century lose

I know a government man

He was as blind as the moon, and he—

He saw the sun in the night

He took a top-gun pilot and he—

He made him fly through a hole

'Til he grew real old, and he—

And he never came down

He just flew till he burst

Time will crawl

'Til our mouths run dry

Time will crawl

'Til our feet grow small

Time will crawl

'Til our tails fall off

Time will crawl

'Til the twenty-first 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

'Til the twenty-first century lose

(Go!)

Time will crawl

Time will crawl

You were a talented child

You came to live in our town

We never bothered to scream

When your mask went off

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

'Til the twenty-first century lose

And our mouths run dry

Time will crawl

And our feet grow small

Time will crawl

And our tails fall off

Time will crawl

'Til the twenty-first century lose

And our heads bowed down

Time will crawl

And our eyes fall out

Time will crawl

And the streets run red

Time will crawl

'Til the twenty-first century lose

Time will crawl

For the crazy child

Time will crawl

We’ll give every life

'Til the twenty-first century lose

For the crackpot notion
