We saw a drawing of pillows
And it was a beautiful drawing I know
And do you remember the paintings
Of all of the animals with Saint Jerome
And we spent the day on the roof of a building
Until it was time to go home
The day was so heavy and gray that it felt like
Somebody had dipped it in chrome

Feeling resigned
Check in your watch cuz
You're wasting your time
You're wasting my time
The world ain't just the
Scene of a crime
And time is just dust gathered into a line

Somebody passed us and stopped
Just to ask us one reason
We thought it should last
On the tip of my tongue
I thought I had the answer
But the moment had passed so we laughed
Next thing we knew it had hone by so fast
That the sun set at barely half mast
Sometimes it takes the late afternoon light
To make water shimmer like glass

Feeling resigned
Check in your watch cuz
You're wasting your time
You're wasting my time
The world ain't just the
Scene of a crime
And time is just dust gathered into a line
