When I Give The Signal, Run!

This road bubbles in the heat

Chopping rocks, the only cracker that mine eyes can see

These rails have run me out of town and shipped me down the line

What once was "mine is yours" is now "what's yours is mine"



And those eyes could stain glass

With the glaze you try to pass

The overalls are down but the sheep line up too fast

Shots and bumps and drops and lines

Are old shifty friends of mine



You can move your body to the beat of the pigs

While they rip out your spine and they shoot out your legs

You live for the rhythm but you live on your knees

If we're really this stupid then we'll never succeed



This morning in a drunken haze I think I talked to you

I think we went to breakfast and then walked down to the zoo

I said some things that I don't mean but don't remember now

It happens all the time these days, the words just fall right out



When this joke dies

The party hats and streamers really start to fly



Look up at the sky where the frogs rain down

And the blood floods the riverbed and seeps deep into the ground

Our time is now
