Late Jim's Lament

Days erase like footprints on the sand
 Spread out like an eagle with a shield on the hills
 This wasn't moving, but I will never understand
 What's sooner in my mind
 And getting later all the time
 ♪
 Yeah, I'm standing still, and I'm looking for a sign
 Attending with a parasite whose tears are just white wine
 Time might be on your side, it's never been on mine
 'Cause it's sooner in my mind
 And getting later all the time
 Yeah, it's sooner in my mind
 And getting later all the time
 ♪
 Cryptifying, nature's getting worse
 Dying words are trapped inside the tunnel of my verse
 No matter how I drive, I know I cannot drive the hearse
 'Cause it's sooner in my mind
 And getting later all the time
 Yeah, it's sooner in my mind
 And getting later all the time
