I

etched

the

face

of

a

stop-

watch

On

the

back

of

a

rain-

drop

And

did

a

swap

for

the

sand

In

an

hour-

glass

I

heard

an

un-

hap-

py

end-

ing

It

sort

of

sounds

like

you

leav-

ing

I

heard

the

pile-

driv-

er

waltz

It

woke

me

up

this

morn-

ing

You

look

like

you've

been

for

break-

fast

at

the

Heart-

break

Ho-

tel

And

sat

in

the

back

booth

by

the

pamph-

lets

and

the

lit-

'ra-

ture

on

how

to

lose

Your

wait-

ress

was

mis-

'ra-

ble

and

so

was

your

food

If

you're

going

to

try

and

walk

on

wa-

ter

make

sure

you

wear

your

com-

fort-

'ble

shoes

Mys-

ter-

ies

Go

green

when

you

swer

But

the

red

on

the

rest

of

the

Nev-

I

heard

the

news

that

you're

plan-

To

shoot

me

out
