[Verse 1]
I was never a great puncher of timeclocks
I was never the one who had lots
Was only good at one thing
Ringing bells, kissing rings
A heart can't heal once padlocked
Was never meant the one who was tedious
I always wanted to be the one who leads us
On things that came to mind
Never on someone else's dime
As the hunter explains to the fox

[Chorus]
And the rain's soaking through my coat
About to capsize my boat
I push it a long way from the docks
I was nevеr a good puncher of timeclocks
As the rain has chillеd me to the bone
I'm flat-out tired and alone
I put it away, now it's locked
I was never a good puncher of timeclocks

[Verse 3]
I was never a teller of stories
Didn't need to thrive on the glory
It's about life of a man
Victim time and time again
Hard as hell to get up in the morning
[Chorus]
And the rain's soaking through my coat
It's about to capsize my boat
I push it a long way from the docks
I was never a good puncher of timeclocks
The rain has chilled me to the bone
I'm flat-out tired and alone
I put it away, now it's locked
I was never a good puncher of timeclocks

[Verse 4]
Regrets to stoke the fires
Clay pigeon and the ignorant liars
The view from my window as the pouring rain seeps
I'm too scared to look down in the deep

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Make no illusions
About your forgone conclusions
Time will set you back, will heal all your wounds
And if the darkness sets in, it creeps up on you
Like a man typecast the fool

[Chorus]
And the rain's soaking through my coat
About to capsize my boat
I push it a long way from the docks
I was never a good puncher of timeclocks
And the rain has chilled me to the bone
I'm flat-out tired and alone
I put it away, now it's locked
I was never a good puncher of timeclocks
