The Captain And The Hourglass

You kick the blow, now you've gotta kick the guy
 You sat alone under billowing sky
 If I feel God judging me
 Well, I fell into the water and now I'm free
 My friends, they don't really get me, think I'm the only one
 Well, I sold my soul to Jesus and since then I've had no fun
 Behind every tree is a cutting machine and a kite fallen from grace
 Inside every man is a heart of sand, you can see it in his face
 He'll tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick away
 Another second lost with every fallen grain
 He'll tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick away
 Another second lost with every fallen grain
 The wind and I, we speak the same, but he don't hear so well
 You're gonna have to curse him, well, you're gonna have to yell
 The sky and I, we've had our fights and I'm coming 'round to rain
 If the rain come out and it don't go well
 Then I'll never have to speak again
 I can tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, away
 Another second lost with every fallen grain
 Can tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick away
 Another second lost with every fallen grain
 The captain's got his boots on and he's heading out the door
 Leaving his lady alone thinkin', "He don't love me no more
 He's done with all this bullshit, he's going back to war
 If heaven is as heaven does, then this is hell for sure"
 And he'll tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick away
 Another second lost with every fallen grain
 He'll tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick away
 Another second lost with every fallen grain
 You kick the blow, now you've gotta kick the guy
 You sat alone under billowing sky
 If I feel God judging me
 But I fell into the water, and now I'm free
