A Perfect Circle - Hourglass Lyrics

Red flag red, all the sentinels are dead
The Tokyo kitty, swallow, rose, and canary
Tick tick tick, do you recognize the sounds as the grains count down?
Trickle down right in front of you

You tickle tickle tickle, all your neck hairs prickle
As they barbecue the sentinels, and eat them right in front of you
Hourglass smash, a million little pieces
They count down, carry on, five, four, three, two

[Chorus]
Plutocrat breaks down too
Democrat breaks down too
Oligarch breaks down too
Republicrat breaks down too
Aristocrat breaks down too
Cenocrat breaks down to
Oligarch breaks down to
Republicrat breaks down to
No hope left in the hourglass

Red flag red, all the sentinels are dead
The Tokyo kitty, swallow, rose, and canary
Tick tick tick, do you recognize the sounds as the grains count down?
Trickle down right in front of you

You tickle tickle tickle, all your neck hairs prickle
As they barbecue the sentinels, and eat them right in front of you
Hourglass smash, a million little pieces
They count down, carry on, five, four, three, two

A ten, a nine, an eight
A ten, a nine, an eight
A ten, a nine, an eight
Eight, seven, six
Five, four, three, two

A ten, a nine, an eight
Eight seven six
Five four three
