Hard Time

Dr. Manhattan


This yard is full of fantasy(?)
If only you had the mouth to see
Where time and trust has led us wrong
Like meter and rhyme to break my fall

Hard time!
Hard time!
With you keeping me inside this box
It won't guarantee that I won't be stopped
I suppose that hanging we've thrown five stories
My fear's from my toes leave me ding-dang-gling-gling-gling

An absent minded fella said there's nothing wrong with stumbling
I'm the curb you're humbling walkin' on early morning
Nothing wrong with trippin' intro traffic
'Cause the consequence of crushing you is doing hard time
As if they're not already doing
Hard time!
Hard time!

But because you kicked hardly means you right
And now I fall with guts and all
Descending by the foot
I count all the ways by your stunning gaze
I'm corpse by the time

???

As if they're not already doing it
Hard time!
This yard is full of fantasy(?)
If only you had the mouth to see
Hard time!
Where time and trust has led us wrong
Like meter and rhyme to break my fall
Hard time!
