Lyrics

One was a piper. one was a rat
They couldn't decipher how it came to that
And at the cockadoodle they crawled out of their beds
As if the rooster knew each rising dawn they dread

Lost in a flurry
Looking for landmines hid in a ribcage back at the front line
And when the sun is falling they crawl out of their skins
They hear the moonlight calling them from this mess they're in

Take deep breaths and waste sweet seconds
The late day beckons, the late day beckons
And if you save it, it'll slip away, spend seven nights like saturday
Yawn, yawn, yawn, we're all long gone
If we get lucky we'll be dead by dawn
So let's get-get-get-get-get-get-get-get-get it on!
I wanna get-get-get-get-get-get-get-get-get it on!

Charging the windmill and missing the mark
Blinded by sunlight but drafting an arc
I've got a million dollars made of ten million dimes paid for ten billion failures of others' good advice
