Time Clocks

I was never a great puncher of time clocks

I was never the one who had lots

I was only good at one thing, ringing bells, kissing rings

A heart can't heal once padlocked

I was never meant to be the one who was tedious

I always wanna 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 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 time clocks

As 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 time clocks

I was never a teller of stories

Didn't need to thrive on the glory

It's about the life of a man, victim time and time again

Hard as hell to get up in the morning

And the rain 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 time clocks

As 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 time clocks

Regrets to stoke the fires

Clay pigeon and the ignorant liars

The view from my window as the pouring rain seeps

Too scared to look down in the deep

Make no illusions 'bout your forgone conclusions

Time will set you back, will heal all your wounds

If the darkness sets in, it creeps up on you

Like a man typecast the fool

And the rain 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 time clocks

As 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 time clocks, oh

Oh, as 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 time clocks
