You kick the blow, now you gotta kick the guy

You sat alone under bellowing sky

If I feel God judging me,

Well I fell into the water and now I'm free

My friends they don’t really get me, think I’m the only one

Well I sold my soul to Jesus and since then I've had no fun

Behind every tree is a cutting machine and a kite fallen from grace

Inside every man is a heart of sand you can see it in his face

He’ll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away. 

Another second lost with every fallen grain.

He’ll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away. 

Another second lost with every fallen grain.

The wind and I, we speak the same, but he don’t hear so well

If you're gonna have to curse him well you’re gonna have to yell

The sky and I, we’ve had our fights and I’m coming round to rain,

If the rain come round and it don’t go out, then I’ll never have to speak again

I can tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away. 

Another second lost with every fallen grain.

Can tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away. 

Another second lost with every fallen grain.

The captain's got his boots on and he’s heading out the door

Leaving his lady alone thinkin’ ‘He don’t love me no more.’

He’s done with all this bullshit, he’s going back to war,

If heaven is as heaven does then this is hell for sure

And he’ll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away. 

Another second lost with every fallen grain.

he’ll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away. 

Another second lost with every fallen grain.

*You kick the blow, now you gotta kick the guy

You sat alone under billowing sky*

If I feel God judging me,

Well I fell into the water and now I'm free
