I etched the face
of a stopwatch
On the back
of a raindrop
And did a swap
for the sand
in an hourglass
I heard
an unhappy ending
It sort of sounds
like you leaving
I heard
the piledriver waltz
It woke me up
this morning
You look like you've been
for breakfast
at the Heartbreak Hotel
And sat in the back
booth by the pamphlets
and the literature
on how to lose
Your waitress was miserable
and so was your food
If you're gonna try
and walk on water
make sure you wear
your comfortable shoes
Mysteries flashing amber
go green
When you answer
but the red
on the rest
Of the questionnaire
never changes
I heard the news
that you're planning
To shoot me out
of a cannon
I heard
the piledriver waltz
It woke me up
this morning
You look like you've been
for breakfast
at the Heartbreak Hotel
And sat in the back
booth by the pamphlets
and the literature
on how to lose
Your waitress was miserable
and so was your food
If you're gonna try
and walk on water
make sure you wear
your comfortable shoes
Ooh-ooh piledriver
