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
