Father Time

Have you heard about the mice
They're makin love they're growin up
They made it back to circle us
Have you heard about the snake
He figured that'd he'd shed his skin
Slide away, again, begin
It's easy to retreat than to face yourself
And let things fall in place
There's no words to describe the way I feel today
But I still feel okay
Do you think you look like hell
It's hard to hug you from a shell
Give it up for the snail
It's not easy for the bee's
They pack a knife, to the job
They try to keep from getting robbed
It's easy to retreat than to face yourself
And let things fall in place
There's no words to describe the way I feel today
But I still feel okay
Human heart (?) is that a crush
Father time looks over us
You'll miss it all if you rush
Did you listen to the doors
It waits around without a sound
So gather round so listen whoooooaoaaaaaoaoooaoaoa
It's easy to retreat than to face yourself
And let things fall in place
There's no words to describe the way I feel today
But I still feel okay (repeat)
