The smart money’s on Harlow
And the moon is in the street
And the shadow boys are breaking all the laws
You’re east of east St. Louis
And the wind is making speeches
And the rain sounds like a round of applause
And Napoleon is weeping in the Carnival saloon
His invisible fiance is in the mirror
The band is going home
It’s raining hammers
It’s raining nails
It’s true there’s nothing left for him down here

And it’s Time Time Time
And it’s Time Time Time
And it’s Time Time Time that you love
And it’s Time Time Time

Well they all pretend they’re Orphans and their memory’s like a train
You can see it getting smaller as it pulls away
The things you can’t remember tell the things you can’t forget that history puts a saint in every dream
Well she said she’d stick around until the bandages came off
But these mama boys just don’t know when to quit
Matilda asks the sailors are those dreams or are those prayers
So close your eyes son and this won’t hurt a bit

And it’s Time Time Time
And it’s Time Time Time
And it’s Time Time Time that you love
And it’s Time Time Time

Well, things are pretty lousy for a calendar girl
The boys just dive right off the cars and splash into the streets
And when they're on a roll she pulls a razor from her boot and a thousand pigeons fall around her feet
So put a candle in the window and a kiss upon his lips as the dish outside the window fills with rain
Just like a stranger with the weeds in your heart
And pay the fiddler off till I come back again

And it’s Time Time Time
And it’s Time Time Time
And it’s Time Time Time that you love
And it’s Time Time Time
It’s Time Time Time
And it’s Time Time Time
And it’s Time Time Time that you love
And it’s Time Time
