Today’s gonna wake up big trouble
Oldman sleeping under the rubble
Scratch your itches, pull out your stitches
It’s a new day get off yer britches

Coming through, going out
Steal a kiss in the round about
Can’t always know, Can’t always say
But I know it’ll take my breath away

Every second of every hour
Planting and picking the prettiest flowers
Life and death they dance together
No matter the time, no matter the weather

Grammy is smokin’, drinkin’ her gin
Sun’s up over the yard-arm again
Crossing out numbers in her little black book
They’re all dead and gone, she said, my little one

Coming through, going out
Steal a kiss in the round about
Can’t always know, Can’t always say
But I know it’ll take my breath away

Every second of every hour
Planting and picking the prettiest flowers
Life and death they dance together
No matter the time, no matter the weather

Every second of every hour
Planting and picking the prettiest flowers
Life and death they dance together
No matter the time, no matter the weather
