Soldier

Weirdness follows me wherever I go
Weirdness seems to know me even better
Than I seem to know myself
I'm someone else
Looking to the clock beside my bed
Am I really keeping time
Or is it only keeping me instead?
Go back to bed

Woah woah woah woah
You've got time to grow
Oh soldier, take your time
No one said the words I'll have to rhyme
And if they do it's fine
And even if they don't, no one needs to know
Woah woah soldier, you gotta let things go

An hour hand moves faster with a scotch
Even when you're in it moving faster
Every minute if you watch
And I drink a lot
But drinking only wakes you up at ten
Spend the day regrettin'
But I'm bettin' that you'll do it all again
Next weekend

Woah woah woah woah
You've got time to grow
Oh soldier, take your time
No one said the words I'll have to rhyme
And if they do it's fine
And even if they don't, no one needs to know
Woah woah soldier, you gotta let things go

Don't look down the barrel with an arrow
And a bow
Dressed down in apparel
With camouflage from head to toe
With everything so sterile in a heavy monotone
Oh soldier, you gotta let things go

Oh soldier, take your time
No one said the words I'll have to rhyme
And if they do it's fine
And even if they don't, no one needs to know
Woah woah soldier, you gotta let things go
