Lyrics

Well, my name, it doesn't matter
My name, I couldn't tell
The reason I am standing here's
To tell you how I fell
They say a straw can break the back
Of a camel fully grown
I use a straw to pick my teeth
And my back broke long ago
Once I had a family
Once I had a wife
I went one day to walk away
A stranger I did spy
Standing with a long black snake
Coiled around his hand
The sky crashed down upon us
And mud rose from the sand
Before I fell into the dark
He opened up his jaw
So black and cold, I shivered
But in the milky hole I saw
House and children, wife and me
A scene of peace and love
Those rotting teeth upon us
They crushed us from above
I told this to a sailor
He told me just the same
Twenty years at sea
When he returned, not one remained
The fault was all his own, he said
He cannot fight the years
By staring at a photograph
And fighting back the tears
Now, I have tried a thousand times
To think about that day
How I could find another route
Or find another way
But time won't pause
The demon's claws
Will always bleed you dry
You take time here
It takes time from there
And you live it til you die
You take time here
It takes time from there
And you live it til you die
You take time here
It takes time from there
And you live it til you die
