lyrics

Sleepers eat lead like time eats time,
Like sour grapes bring sour wine.
Drunk on sloth at the starting line
I wipe it off my lips.

Sleepers eat leat like days eat days,
Today we spend, tomorrow pay.
Let's chase our corpses to the grave
And shake away the frost.

Old man, your walking days are over.
Force a smile as life decays.
Cast away all charms and four leaf clovers.
Old man, please move over.

The waves will pound the rocks to sand:
The water's weight turns sand to rock.
Let's make the most of time in hand
and use our fists to smash the clocks.

Lie down by the breaking tide;
Enjoy the sound of our own breath.
We'll soon be old and soon be gone.
be thankful that we are not yet.
