You're just like time

Except you can feel the shame

All hands on deck, now

The sea is getting rough again

You see me out your window

Even when you close the blinds

And all you ever wanted,

Was someone to treat you nice and kind



Take a step before running

Take a breath now before you die

When you work the streets, darlin'

Make sure your sneaker laces they get tied

I'll be your black bird darlin'

Hanging on your telephone wire

Flap my wings, oh yeah

And set your heart to fly
