Twelfth twelve of '96, 5:37
God gave a gift from heaven
You do the math and oddly it's even
Ezekiel's round is the given
The wheel in the wheel right on yesterday's heels
Tomorrow's becoming a has been
Collecting hot wheels, loving hot salad meals
Making memories of backhoe buckets
A second son announces his second son's arrival
Hand-to-mouth paychecks and survival
How quickly Daddy turns into the grand generation
Consummate perpetuation
The wheel in the wheel right on yesterday's heels
Tomorrow's becoming a has been
Ain't noun but a thang, 'jis an 'ole chicken wang
A funny face, I mean I gase, bridge the chasm
La ti dai, la ti dai, la ti dai da di dai...
The minute hand lands at 12 twelve times each morning
Another twelve and a new day is dawning
Epoch interacting with momentary matters
Destined entwined common chatter
The wheel in the wheel right on yesterday's heels
Tomorrow's becoming a has been
Time we redeem, lives we esteem
Eternities hang in the balance
La ti dai, la ti dai, la ti dai da di dai...
