All those antiquated stories they get boring
You keep talking 'bout the man you could have been
Always preaching 'bout your younger days of glory
And you swear to Jude your memories are pristine
From that little soapbox pulpit you've been clinging
Cursing out the God of opportunity
Over forty years that rotary phone ain't ringing
Cause you've been disconnected from reality
Don't get caught
Under the hourglass
You'll be buried in the past
As you're watching time collapse
All the wealth has turned to ruins
All the legends, they fell back
I know you're searching for the answers
You'll be digging through the ash
So don't get caught
Under the hour, hourglass
Beat drops and the party starts, it's all up-tempo
But you're dressed in your best, you demand a waltz
In life you don't always choose the instrumental
But if you're dancing all alone then who's at fault?
Don't get caught
Under the hourglass
You'll be buried in the past
As you're watching time collapse
All the wealth has turned to ruins
All the legends, they fell back
I know you're searching for the answers
You'll be digging through the ash
So don't get caught
Under the hour, hourglass
This I know, the old world is gone
It ain't nothing like before, you gotta move up and move on
Oh this I know, those days are no more
You've got to let it go, 'cause it's gone, gone, gone
Don't get caught
Under the hourglass
You'll be buried in the past
As you're watching time collapse
All the wealth has turned to ruins
All the legends, they fell back
I know you're searching for the answers
You'll be digging through the ash
So don't get caught
Under the hour, hourglass
