Harsh Reality - The Hotknives

Ten to three and I’m rationing my coffee, I’m a caffeine casualty

For me, there’s an awful lotto look at and an awful lot that I can’t see

Do you think the day’s been kind of strange?

Do you think the future’s prearranged?

Did you see it coming 'cause it sure as hell missed me

The only thing I ever killed was time

The only bone I ever broke was mine

Tried so hard to let you see

That you meant so much to me

Spread your fingers in a line

Try to hold the sands of time

We’re history you and me

And it’s a harsh reality

Table three, there’s a special on the menu, it’s an argument for you and me

For free, there’s a doggy bag to take away with paper covered rows for tea

Do you think the day’s been kind of strange?

Do you think the future’s prearranged?

Did you see it coming 'cause it sure as hell missed me

The only thing I ever killed was time

The only bone I ever broke was mine

Tried so hard to let you see

That you meant so much to me

Spread your fingers in a line

Try to hold the sands of time

We’re history you and me

And it’s a harsh reality

The two of us said that we’d be forever

And like it or not we broke it together

Don’t be scared now

Don’t be scared now

Don’t he scared now

Blood runs cold with the slightest possibility that you and I may not grow old

Talking — there’s a message on the table leave our history in the box marked old

Do you think the future’s pre arranged?

Do you think the day’s been kind of strange?

Did you see it coming 'cause it sure as hell missed me

The only thing I ever killed was time

The only bone I ever broke was mine

Tried so hard to let you see

That you meant so much to me

Spread your fingers in a line

Try to hold the sands of time

We’re history you and me

And it’s a harsh reality

Did you see it coming 'cause it sure as hell missed me

Did you see it coming?

And it’s a harsh reality
