lyrics

A black widow and a copperhead
Fell in love and they went to bed
While the smoke churned overhead
And from the forge of their passion rose
The watch old man Saturn chose
Or so the story goes

But don’t worry if the numbers find you
Don’t worry if they seem to bind you
Look up and the sunlight blinds you
But look in and it’s undefined you know

Time dies away to vanish
Just soon as its moment's banished

The tickless tock of a tockless clock
Blows away like a ground up cinder block
It just needs to be unlocked
But as the time dunes whirl away
To the sandstorm beach of a frozen day
An old corpse is a child at play

But don’t worry if the numbers find you
Don’t worry if they seem to bind you
Look up and the sunlight blinds you
But look in and it’s undefined you know

Time dies away to vanish
Just soon as it's moment's banished

If I let time unwind and live behind it
You'd be a statue of the life you live as you designed it
If I existed out of time, eternal as a minus sign
Don’t cry for me

Downtown away there’s a spider and a snake who look into each others’ weeping eyes and pray
The fading sands the fading sands, the fading sands the hourglass has lost its hands
Don’t cry for me
Don’t cry for me

But don’t worry if the numbers find you
Don’t worry if they seem to bind you
Look up and the sunlight blinds you
But look in and it’s undefined you know
