Time marches on
Time stands still
Time on my hands, time to kill
Blood on my hands
And my hands in the till
Down at the 7-11
Gentle rain falls on me
And all life folds back into the sea
We contemplate eternity
Beneath the vast indifference of Heaven
The past seems realer
Than the present to me now
I've got memories to last me
When the sky is gray
The way it is today
I remember the times when I was happy
Same old sun, same old moon
It's the same old story
Same old tune
They all say
Someday soon
My sins will all be forgiven
Gentle rain falls on me
All life folds back into the sea
We contemplate eternity
Beneath the vast indifference of Heaven
They say, "Every thing's all right"
They say, "Better days are near"
They tell us, "These are the good times"
But they don't live around here
Billy and Christie don't
Bruce and Patti don't
They don't live around here
I had a girl, now she's gone
She left town
And town burned down
Nothing left
But the sound
Of the front door closing forever
Gentle rain falls on me
And all life folds back into the sea
We contemplate eternity
Beneath the vast indifference of Heaven
The vast indifference of Heaven
