Piledriver Waltz

I etched the face of a stopwatch
On the back of a raindrop
And did a swap for the sand in an hourglass.
I heard the nun happy ending
it sort of sounds like you’re leaving
I heard the piledriver waltz,
it woke me up this morning.

You look like you’ve been
for breakfast at the heartbreak hotel
Inside of a back booth by the
pamphlets and the literature on how to lose.
Your waitress was miserable
and so was your food.
If you’re gonna try and walk on water
make sure you wear your comfortable shoes.

Mysteries flashing amber
go green when you answer
but the red on the rest of
the questionnaire never changes.
I heard the news that you’re trying
to shoot me out of a cannon.
I heard the piledriver waltz,
it woke me up this morning.

You look like you’ve been
for breakfast at the heartbreak hotel
Inside of a back booth by
the pamphlets and the literature on how to lose.
Your waitress was miserable
and so was your food.
If you’re gonna try and walk
on water make sure you
wear your comfortable shoes.

Oh, piledriver.
