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 a carnival saloon his invisible fiance s 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 and the things you can t rememeber 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 just close your eyes son 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 street 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 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
