[Verse 1]
We saw a drawing of pillows
And it was a beautiful drawing, I know
But do you remember the paintings
Of all of the animals with St. Jerome?
And we spent the day on the roof of a building
Until it was time to go home
The day was so heavy and grey that it felt like
Somebody had dipped it in chrome

[Chorus]
Feeling resigned, checking your watch 'cause
You're wasting your time, you're wasting my time
The world ain't just a scene of a crime
Time is just dust gathered into a line

[Verse 2]
Somebody passed us and stopped us to ask us
One reason we thought it should last
On the tip of my tongue, I thought I had the answer
But the moment had passed, so we laughed
Next thing we knew, it had gone by so fast
That the sun set at barely half-mast
Sometimes it takes the late afternoon light
To make water shimmer like glass

[Chorus]
Feeling resigned, checking your watch 'cause
You're wasting your time, you're wasting my time
The world ain't just a scene of a crime
Time is just dust gathered into a line

[Chorus]
Feeling resigned, checking your watch 'cause
You're wasting your time, you're wasting my time
The world ain't just a scene of a crime
Time is just dust gathered into a line

[Outro]
(Gathered into a line)
(Gathered into a line)
Don't waste my time
(Gathered into a line)
