I've never sailed on a sea I would not challenge a giant I could not take on the church Time will crawl 'Til the 21st century lose I know a government man He was as blind as the moon He saw the sun in the night He took a top-gun pilot He made him fly through a hole 'Til he grew real old And he never came down He just flew 'til he burst Time will crawl 'til our mouths run dry Time will crawl 'til our feet grow small Time will crawl 'til our tails fall off Time will crawl 'til the 21st century lose I saw a black black stream Full of white eyed fish And a drowning man With no eyes at all I felt a warm warm breeze That melted metal and steel I got a bad migraine That lasted three long years And the pills that I took Made my fingers disappear Time will crawl, time will crawl Time will crawl 'Til the 21st century lose You were a talented child You came to live in our town We never bothered to scream When your mask came off We only smelt the gas As we lay down to sleep Time will crawl and our heads bowed down Time will crawl and our eyes fall out Time will crawl and the streets run red Time will crawl 'til the 21st century lose Time will crawl and our mouths run dry Time will crawl and our feet grow small Time will crawl and our tails fall off Time will crawl 'til the 21st century lose Time will crawl and our heads bowed down Time will crawl and our eyes fall out Time will crawl and the streets run red Time will crawl 'til the 21st century lose For the crazy child We'll give every life For the crackpot notion
