You take these sticks and stones
and apply what you have learned
but you ain't got no water
so you let that motherfucker burn

Yea it smoked up and it burned out
Like a graduation bonfire two miles from your house
and you had nowhere to go, so you came right back here
I couldn't find what you wanted, so you slapped me in the face and spilled my beer

and when the mess dried up you came up singing,

Let us drink from the hourglass
We can make time stop
Watch from the window upstairs
While they all kick rocks

and I miss smoking in the fall
and pissin' on that gas station wall
What's a law? What's a fire? What's a river?
We jumped over them all

but I guess my legs got tired and my teeth got long

So take a sip from the hourglass
We can make time stop
Watch from the window upstairs
While they all kick rocks

I tried to write you a passage
but you're holdin' out for the flick
Wait outside by the exit
When they don't let you in

So we can drink from the hourglass
We can make time stop
Watch from the window upstairs
While they all kick rocks
