lyrics

One day your born, one day you'll die
Gotta look like an angel in your mother's eye
Gotta grow like a sparrow for someday you'll fly
Aint got a thing but time

And then your grown, gonna get your kicks
Do you run toward the devil and his clever tricks
Do you make the kind of worries you can never fix
To keep for all this time

Someday you gotta do like your daddy's right
Gotta go to work and pay your fines
Well you got some dreams but you got some time
And I got things I call mine

There's always something else to do
The wants are many but the times are few
A little bit older but you'll start things soon
I'm sure there is still time

Got a little man inside my head
A selfish beggar with a nagging beg
A three eyed devil with a gift to tempt
Goddamn you devil mine

A young man passes by an old man's stoop
The old man's jealous of the young man's youth
Somewhere I was once a young man too
Where did go all my time?

Full of grace
The eyes of babes
Who cast their gaze in awe
Now in grey
For God I wait
My pace remains a crawl

I clung to the moment but the moment passed
It seems I couldn't make the good ones last
I ran from the devil but the devil's fast
Goddamn you devil die

And then death catches up to you
Well your road was steady and the stops were few
But the regrets were many and you found no truth
Goddamn you devil time
Goddamn you devil mine
Goddamn you devil die
