Lyrics
0:43Time will swallow
0:49Your precious time
0:55Like magic create the future
1:07What makes man so fickle
1:17Who put the daggers in those eyes
1:25Was it to learn
1:30Through dark days of struggle
1:36Was it to burn
1:41To burst all our bubbles
1:47Thunder and rain
1:52Well the cynicle flame will it heat stick and blister
1:58Thunder and rain
2:16Evangelistic brother
2:20Should be banging a tambourine
2:27Go wash your hands and fingers
2:31Till your mind is clean
2:35Was it your fate
2:41To sleep like a normal
2:46Time and decay
2:51No man is immortal
2:57Thunder and rain
3:01Boredom and pain lit the cynical flame
3:04Will it heat stick and blister
3:08Thunder and rain
3:13Still try to resist the pessimist
3:18The pessimist no no
3:48And these things I find
3:54In the back of my mind
3:59Where time lasts forever
4:03I get all mixed
4:05Think I'm all mankind
4:09Listen Mr Pessimister
4:13With your Catholic taste
4:18Oh listen Mr Pessimister Mr Pessimister Mr
4:24We do not relate
4:31Listen Mr Pessimister Mr Pessimister Mr Pessimister Mr
4:41Mr Pessimister
Time will swallow Your precious time Like magic create the future What makes man so fickle Who put the daggers in those eyes Was it to learn Through dark days of struggle Was it to burn To burst all our bubbles Thunder and rain Well the cynicle flame will it heat stick and blister Thunder and rain Evangelistic brother Should be banging a tambourine Go wash your hands and fingers Till your mind is clean Was it your fate To sleep like a normal Time and decay No man is immortal Thunder and rain Boredom and pain lit the cynical flame Will it heat stick and blister Thunder and rain Still try to resist the pessimist The pessimist no no And these things I find In the back of my mind Where time lasts forever I get all mixed Think I'm all mankind Listen Mr Pessimister With your Catholic taste Oh listen Mr Pessimister Mr Pessimister Mr We do not relate Listen Mr Pessimister Mr Pessimister Mr Pessimister Mr Mr Pessimister
