Time Will Break The World - Silver Jews

The sun and the shutters and the sun shattered hair

The butler hesitates at the top of the stairs

A kitten from Great Britain sleeps behind the drapes

An old silver bowl filled with apples and grapes

It’s so very cold in the mansion after sunset

The snow is blowing through the baseboard outlets

And I have no idea what drives you, mister

Tanning beds explode with rich women inside

All my poor, hungry children

All my poor, hungry children

All my poor, hungry children

Time will break the world

Time will break the world

Time will break the world

The snow falls down so beautiful and stupid

For the black silhoutte of Abraham Lincoln trees

The sky’s low and grey like a Japanese table

And my horse’s legs look like four brown shotguns

The icicles are dripping like the whole house is weeping

On an evil little car with gull-wing doors

And I have no idea what drives you, mister

But I’ve killed you in my mind so many times before

All my poor, hungry children

All my poor, hungry children

All my poor, hungry children

Time will break the world

Time will break the world

Time will break the world
