[00:00.63] you are watching a programme for exactly an hour
[00:06.01] all of these hours they will add up to a day
[00:10.85] you will sit there till they're done but there are 24 to play
[00:15.69] there'll be rims around your eyelids by the 7th or the 8th
[00:21.26] but if you go to sleep tonight you will be older when you wake
[00:30.80] and you say one man is the parachute
[00:34.09] and the other is the knife that cuts the brake
[00:38.73]
[00:42.15] first we were born then we ran slowly out of luck
[00:46.59] you are still not charles bukowski and i am not diane cluck
[00:51.64] and i would suck the life from you if there was any left to suck
[00:56.68] and i would love you if you told me there was something there to love
[01:01.86] i would marry you for money
[01:04.59] i would marry you for money
[01:07.25] i would marry you for money or for luck
[01:12.16] i would marry you for money
[01:14.97] but i don't suppose you'll ever have enough
[01:19.13]
[01:22.24] well the man on the screen he has done more in a minute
[01:27.41] than you have achieved in your whole entire life
[01:32.66] when you finally realise i was the best thing you had in it
[01:37.58] we'll be closing up your eyelids on the bed or once you die
[01:42.94] and i'll be sorry if it happens to you
[01:45.72] sorry if it happens to you
[01:48.51] sorry if it happens to you but
[01:52.74] i guess if one man is the cancer
[01:55.68] then his death is just the knife that makes the cut
[02:00.19]
[02:03.38] 24 for every year that we have slept
[02:09.08] day by day into the neck of the abyss
[02:13.28] and i am 24 today i don't believe i'll sit
[02:18.69] through another year of this
[02:20.68] while you are sewing up your lips
[02:23.79] and i'll be sorry that you happened to me
[02:27.04] sorry that you happened to me
[02:29.57] sorry that you happened to me but
[02:33.87] they say that one man is the accident
[02:37.50] the other is the hand that stops the blood
[02:44.37] and i am looking for the other one
[02:48.00] the hand that stops the blood
[02:52.57]
