You kicked the blow, now you've got to kick the guy
You sat alone under bellowing sky
If I feel God judging me
Then I fell into the water and now I'm free

My friends they don't really get me, think I'm the only one
Well, I sold my soul to Jesus and since then I've had no fun
Behind every tree is a cutting machine and a kite fallen from grace
Inside every man is a heart of sand, you can see it in his face

And he'll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away
Another second lost with every fallen grain
And he'll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away
Another second lost with every fallen grain

The wind and I we speak the same but he don't hear so well
If you gonna have to curse him, well, you're gonna have to yell
The sky and I we've had our fights but I'm coming 'round to rain
If the rain come out and I don't go out I don't ever have to speak again

I can tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away
Another second lost with every fallen grain
I can tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away
Another second lost with every fallen grain

The captain's got his boots on and he's heading out the door
Leaving his lady alone thinking, he don't love me no more
He's done with all his bullshit, he's going back to war
If heaven is as heaven does then this is hell for sure

And he'll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away
Another second lost with every fallen grain
And he'll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away
Another second lost with every fallen grain

You kicked the blow, now you've got to kick the guy
You sat alone, under bellowing sky
If I feel God judging me
Then I fell into the water and now I'm free
