But time is not given and time is not taken

But time is not given and time is not taken
And in the morning she'd wake up and
Build buildings so tall these days

Sifts through its sift
They build buildings, oh, they build buildings, oh
And she would beg for time
Cold coffee, cold morning, last warning
And she would ask for time

He was a husband who drove his wife home

When coffee and coffee and coffee
It just sifts through its sift
They build buildings, oh, they build buildings, oh
Oh, sifts through its sift

It just sifts through its sift
She'd beg for time
"Oh, it's okay"

Oh, sifts through its sift
They build buildings, oh, they build buildings, oh
And he'd give her time
Was a husband, time, pine's scrub, scrub

And she'd beg for time

And he'd give her time
They build buildings so tall these days
And he'd give her time
They build buildings, oh, they build buildings, oh
And by the time he came back, she'd scrub the bathrooms
Would issue yet another last warning
And he'd give her time, oh, oh, and he'd give her time
But time is not given and time is not taken
They build buildings, oh don't they build buildings, oh
They build buildings, oh, they build buildings, oh
And he'd give her time

But time is not given and time is not taken
He was a husband, drove time
And he would give her time
Sifts through its sift

And her conscience
And call it a gift
He'd take one look at her a say, "Oh"
Just sifts through its sift
Oh, sifts through its sift
She'd ask for time
Saying, oh

And she'd ask for time
And in the bathroom he would
Always wake up the next morning
Crouch recollections all day
But she would always
And in the car he would lean her head gently
It just sifts through its sift
He'd go to work and she'd take a sick day
Just sifts through its sift
They build buildings, oh, they build buildings, oh
And he'd give her time
Bathroom, lean head back

Home time, car, oh, core[Incomprehensible]
It just sifts through its sift
They build buildings so tall these days

Car window,hold tight [Incomprehensible] don't they?

And she'd ask for time
Saying, oh
Against the side door window
And she'd beg for time
And she would beg for time

Hold her hair back and hope
And coffee and coffee and coffee some more
And call it a gift
And he'd give her time
And rot at the core
And he would give her time
And she'd beg for time

Sifts through its sift
And make it smell like pine
They build buildings, oh, they build buildings, oh
They build buildings so tall these days
Saying, oh
And she'd ask for time
It would be almost as if nothing had happened
And she would ask for time
They build buildings, oh, they build buildings, oh
