Hourglass (Radio Edit)

Take me out down the alley ways Down past the social and the wayward strays And all through the days All through my days Take your pack of fags and your old work boots Put them on your feet instead of shoes And walk through the fog And all the epilogues Leave the past behind and let it start a new Before the base falls out and you fall right through To the darker side To where your brain feels fried Take the micro and the macro out the prose Let your heart ring true To the wisdom of the show Find your strength now shove it deep in your coat And let your walls fly down through the minor notes And take the time out now To spread the word around They say the love of life is what sets you free And find a soul to share and start a family tree And live your simple life Free of trouble and strife Put your gas and electric on the meter key Make sure your rent is paid and you got some tea Make it something nice Something reduced in price Take the micro and the macro out the prose Let your heart ring true To the wisdom of the show We'll take your saving book and withdraw again Ain't got a penny for the debt so you'll have to lend But they can't hang you for it So put it in your pocket The towers will fall to the sound of 16 I'm out my head down the shed with a potent dream To find the way back home To where you was left alone Take the micro and the macro out the prose Let your heart ring true To the wisdom of the show
