(Waits)Well, the smart money''s on HarlowAnd the moon is in the street
The shadow boys are breaking all the laws
And you''re east of East St. LouisAnd the wind is making speeches
And the rain sounds like a round of applause
Napoleon is weeping in the Carnival saloonHis invisible fiance is in the mirror
The band is going homeIt''s raining hammers, it''s raining nailsYes, it''s true, there''s nothing left for him down here
And it''s Time Time TimeAnd it''s Time Time Time
And it''s Time Time Time That you love
And it''s Time Time Time
And they all pret they''re OrphansAnd their memory''s like a train
You can see it getting smaller as it pulls away
And the things you can''t rememberTell the things you can''t forget thatHistory puts a saint in every dreamWell she said she''d stick aroundUntil the bandages came offBut these mamas boys just don''t know when to quitAnd Matilda asks the sailors are those dreamsOr are those prayersSo just close your eyes, sonAnd this won''t hurt a bit
And it''s Time Time Time
And it''s Time Time Time
And it''s Time Time TimeThat you love
And it''s Time Time TimeWell, things are pretty lousy for a calar girl
The boys just dive right off the carsAnd splash into the streets
And when she''s on a roll she pulls a razorFrom her boot and a thousandPigeons fall around her feet
So put a candle in the windowAnd a kiss upon his lipsTill the dish outside the window fills with rain
Just like a stranger with the weeds in your heartAnd pay the fiddler off till I come back again
