I etched the face of a stopwatch 
On the back of a raindrop 
And did a swap for the sand in an hourglass. 
I heard the nun happy ending 
it sort of sounds like you’re leaving 
I heard the piledriver waltz, 
it woke me up this morning. 


You look like you’ve been 
for breakfast at the heartbreak hotel 
Inside of a back booth by the 
pamphlets and the literature on how to lose. 
Your waitress was miserable 
and so was your food. 
If you’re gonna try and walk on water 
make sure you wear your comfortable shoes. 


Mysteries flashing amber 
go green when you answer 
but the red on the rest of 
the questionnaire never changes. 
I heard the news that you’re trying 
to shoot me out of a cannon. 
I heard the piledriver waltz, 
it woke me up this morning. 


You look like you’ve been 
for breakfast at the heartbreak hotel 
Inside of a back booth by 
the pamphlets and the literature on how to lose. 
Your waitress was miserable 
and so was your food. 
If you’re gonna try and walk on water 
make sure you 
wear your comfortable shoes. 


Oh, piledriver.
