Greenwich Time

Jay Farrar

Compositor: Jay Farrar

Woke up in a west that's wild
Woke up in a sanctioned wayside
Woke up, psychos screaming
Some loiter head dream descending

Left it up to chance, left it up in the air
Played it by ear and played down both ends of the line
I will not let the world pass by
I woke up in the west, greenwich time

Bared the glare of cold war trash, put it on the table
Stained the course leaking, work a day degradation
With the ballot box open, the flowing information
The temperature warming and all the cloning and nonchalance
I will not let the world pass by
I woke up in the west, greenwich time
