lyrics

the twenty-third hour I’m still in this state
this country can’t hold me this world just can’t wait
i can’t wait
give my money to a charity, friend
in Australia I’ll make my amends

a century’s quarter has made this dull face
with hands pointed outward to person and place
what a waste
living in years that have long been submerged
just an hour left until the future
when tomorrow is here I will be there
just an hour left to dream

I’m taking a freighter across the Pacific
I’ll keep no time
it’s hard to imagine a life without craving
I’ll keep no time
and finally there will be no dreams to remember
I’ll keep no time
I’ll keep no time
