And she would beg for time
And he'd give her time
And she'd beg for time
Saying, oh
But time is not given and time is not taken
They build buildings, oh, they build buildings, oh
And he'd give her time
And he would give her time
They build buildings, oh, they build buildings, oh
But time is not given and time is not taken
And he'd give her time
And coffee and coffee and coffee some more
But time is not given and time is not taken
They build buildings, oh, they build buildings, oh
Oh, sifts through its sift
He was a husband, drove time
Home time, car, oh, core[Incomprehensible]
When coffee and coffee and coffee
They build buildings so tall these days
And rot at the core
And make it smell like pine
But time is not given and time is not taken
And she'd ask for time
Saying, oh
And in the bathroom he would
Just sifts through its sift
Saying, oh
And she would beg for time
They build buildings, oh, they build buildings, oh
Would issue yet another last warning
They build buildings, oh, they build buildings, oh
It just sifts through its sift
And call it a gift
And he'd give her time, oh, oh, and he'd give her time
Against the side door window
"Oh, it's okay"
They build buildings, oh, they build buildings, oh
She'd ask for time
And he'd give her time
And he'd give her time
He was a husband who drove his wife home
And by the time he came back, she'd scrub the bathrooms
Always wake up the next morning
Sifts through its sift
It just sifts through its sift
And he'd give her time
Hold her hair back and hope
And in the morning she'd wake up and
And she'd beg for time
And in the car he would lean her head gently
They build buildings, oh, they build buildings, oh
Sifts through its sift
It just sifts through its sift
They build buildings, oh don't they build buildings, oh
Crouch recollections all day
And he would give her time
They build buildings, oh, they build buildings, oh
Oh, sifts through its sift
Just sifts through its sift
And call it a gift
But she would always
Car window,hold tight [Incomprehensible] don't they?
They build buildings so tall these days
And she'd ask for time
Bathroom, lean head back
It just sifts through its sift
Oh, sifts through its sift
And she'd beg for time
And her conscience
Cold coffee, cold morning, last warning
It would be almost as if nothing had happened
She'd beg for time
And she'd ask for time
He'd take one look at her a say, "Oh"
Was a husband, time, pine's scrub, scrub
And she would ask for time
He'd go to work and she'd take a sick day
They build buildings so tall these days
And she would ask for time
Sifts through its sift
