Now things are getting dire
With every mark in the stone
Broken down and hard-wired
Leave me gnawing at the bone
I can't expect this to stay forever
Somebody give me a sign
Counting the days and pulling the levers
Learning to stay in time
I can't expect this to stay forever
Somebody give me a sign
Counting the days till I finally sever
Finally in my prime
Another thing to grow out of
While I'm hanging on the vine
Always glued to what's above
And all the psalms down the line
I can't expect this to stay forever
Somebody give me a sign
Counting the days and pulling the levers
Learning to stay in time
I can't expect this to stay forever
Somebody give me a sign
Counting the days till I finally sever
Finally in my prime
