Lyrics

John takes a seat
So he can wind his watch
Not working anymore
But it's so good to touch
It's the only solid evidence
Of what he's done and seen
It helps him to remember
His past life was not a dream

It used to tell the time
When he was young
But time means nothing now
He has a clear view of the sun

John stopped me
On the street today
He didn't have
That much to say
I said I had to get to work
But he begged me to stay
There was a look in his eyes
I'd never seen before
I couldn't walk away
I knew I wouldn't see him anymore
He bummed a smoke
Looked off into space awhile
Then he looked into my eyes
And unleashed a fleeting smile

Dennis it's so good to see you
You have no idea
Just how bad
It's getting on the street
I try to hide away
But they find me every day
And I'm so fucking tired of the heat
Yeah, I'm so fucking tired of the heat

Yesterday I heard the news
They sent me a letter said
It was suicide but I know better (x2)
