Lyrics

0:20I etched a face of a stopwatch

0:21On the back of a raindrop

0:24And did a swap for the sand in an hourglass

0:31I heard an unhappy ending

0:34It sort of sounds like you leaving

0:37I heard the piledriver waltz

0:41It woke me up this morning

0:52You look like you've been for breakfast

0:54At the heartbreak hotel

0:55And sat in the back booth

0:57By the pamphlets and the literature

1:01On how to lose

1:04Your waitress was miserable

1:09And so was your food

1:12If you're gonna try and walk on water

1:15Make sure you wear your comfortable shoes

1:17Mystery's flashing amber

1:24Go green when you answer

1:25But the red on the rest of the questionnaire

1:31Never changes

1:32I heard the news that you're planning

1:34To shoot me out of a cannon

1:39I heard the piledriver waltz

1:41It woke me up this morning

1:52You look like you've been for breakfast

1:55At the heartbreak hotel

1:56And sat in the back booth

2:01By the pamphlets and the literature

2:04On how to lose

2:06Your waitress was miserable

2:10And so was your food

2:12If you're gonna try and walk on water

2:15Make sure you wear your comfortable shoes

2:17Ohh' piledriver

3:01End

I etched a face of a stopwatch
On the back of a raindrop
And did a swap for the sand in an hourglass
I heard an unhappy ending
It sort of sounds like you leaving
I heard the piledriver waltz
It woke me up this morning
You look like you've been for breakfast
At the heartbreak hotel
And sat in the back booth
By the pamphlets and the literature
On how to lose
Your waitress was miserable
And so was your food
If you're gonna try and walk on water
Make sure you wear your comfortable shoes
Mystery's flashing amber
Go green when you answer
But the red on the rest of the questionnaire
Never changes
I heard the news that you're planning
To shoot me out of a cannon
I heard the piledriver waltz
It woke me up this morning
You look like you've been for breakfast
At the heartbreak hotel
And sat in the back booth
By the pamphlets and the literature
On how to lose
Your waitress was miserable
And so was your food
If you're gonna try and walk on water
Make sure you wear your comfortable shoes
Ohh' piledriver
End
