Time Clocks

I was never a great puncher of timeclocks
I was never the one who had lots
Was only good at one thing
Ringing bells, kissing rings
A heart can't heal once padlocked
Was never meant the one who was tedious
I always wanted to be the one who leads us
On things that came to mind
Never on someone else's dime
As the hunter explains to the fox
And the rain's soaking through my coat
About to capsize my boat
I push it a long way from the docks
I was nevеr a good puncher of timeclocks
As the rain has chillеd me to the bone
I'm flat-out tired and alone
I put it away, now it's locked
I was never a good puncher of timeclocks
I was never a teller of stories
Didn't need to thrive on the glory
It's about life of a man
Victim time and time again
Hard as hell to get up in the morning
And the rain's soaking through my coat
It's about to capsize my boat
I push it a long way from the docks
I was never a good puncher of timeclocks
The rain has chilled me to the bone
I'm flat-out tired and alone
I put it away, now it's locked
I was never a good puncher of timeclocks
Regrets to stoke the fires
Clay pigeon and the ignorant liars
The view from my window
As the pouring rain seeps
I'm too scared to look down in the deep
Make no illusions
About your forgone conclusions
Time will set you back
Will heal all your wounds
And if the darkness sets in
It creeps up on you
Like a man typecast the fool
And the rain's soaking through my coat
About to capsize my boat
I push it a long way from the docks
I was never a good puncher of timeclocks
And the rain has chilled me to the bone
I'm flat-out tired and alone
I put it away, now it's locked
I was never a good puncher of timeclocks
