Spock's Beard

Spock's Beard - Time Has Come lyrics

I'm just a junkyard now

This is my trash

They burnt me down somehow

Flicked me off like a cigarette ash

But time has come today; Time has come today

I've been a patron saint

I've had my mouth washed out

And I've been one big complaint

I turned myself into two separate gorillas?

But time has come today; Time has come to blow our old world away

Pulled in from abilene; found the world was sold

He paid in gold - but his hands were cold

But the man was sharp; man, this cat was cool

So we gave the jewel to a raving fool... YEAH!

They say I'm a big boy now

Come on and stand up straight

Lock up your girls and boys

Soon it will be too late

Time has come today time has come today

Time has come to blow out yesterday

Has come today time has come today

Time has come to blow our old world away

Cardboard people stand in a field made of grass.

Carved from mahogany and jade, they see you and all start to laugh.

The eyes that they live through will roll as they give you the task.

Steeped in a slumber, they tell you your number is one;

And the proper ladies blow smoke from their mouths like a gun.

They smile like the sun - say the race has begun, time to run... RUN!

Cardboard people tell you they'd love you to stay.

When the whores and sailors come it would be best to put lucky away.

You must wait for the sunset; your time hasn't come yet today.

As the sunset loves nimbus and the autumn light

We don't have to live for a fight

We can be one - it can be done!

I must leave here with the morning light

We don't have to live to be right

We can be one - this must be done!

And mommy and dad give a pat on the back but they're thinking:

"If you leave here we'll hate you

If you leave here we'll argue

If you leave here we'll hate you

We love you but we'll hate you if you leave"

Then you're hunkerin' down in mid-town with your brothers

And soon they'll all looking your way

We can survive - Just stay alive

And you think it's a crime but you know that it's time to be leaving

"If you leave here we'll hate you

If you leave here we'll argue

If you leave here we'll hate you

We love you but we'll hate you if you leave"

I'm just an old man now

I EAT YOUR TRASH

I'll make it back somehow

Take off at long last YEAH!

Time has come today

Time has come to blow our old world away

Time has come today

Time has come to blow our old world away

Let's blow our old world away
