The Man in the Hourglass
He watches you and me
It's frightening
It's frightening
The ones who don't see him back
The folks who can't leave him be
No matter which you are
He watches and takes his fee
The Man in the Hourglass
He sees all the things we do
Everything
The ones who leave him alone
The folks who turn his key
He's right there before you but
He takes you before you see
He takes you before you see
He takes you before you see
It isn't fair to look so
He takes you before you see
Takes you before
Takes you before
It isn't fair to look so
He takes you before you see
The Man in the Hourglass
He waits for us at home
He's the prickle on our necks when we think we're alone
The ones who would never try
The folks who feel too old
It runs right through your fingers
The sand you cannot hold
The sand you cannot hold
The sand you cannot hold
Runs right through your fingers
The sand you cannot hold
Through your fingers
Through your fingers
Runs right through your fingers
The sand you cannot hold
The Man in the Hourglass
He ain't who you think he is
It's frightening
It's frightening
The sand you cannot hold
The sand you cannot hold
Runs right through your fingers
The sand you cannot hold
