The Brook Lee Catastrophe - 100 Behind lyrics

Our days they are numbered out one at a time It's no secret that I live 100 behind Holed up in the past or some dream that I had in my sleep Though my legs they will catch up as fast as they can They cannot control who I hold in my hands So I letter and song to a drum that's offbeat with my feet All the things we'll never say boiling up inside of me Need a place to stretch their legs Run around if just pretend Lest their be conceived a doubt Giving birth to eager mouths Hold it fast or let it fade As she slowly walks away I know what time it is There's a timing I'm sure for a start and an end Sometimes we don't notice sometimes we pretend And busy ourselves with the dishes the dancing the drink But emptiness speaks and the clock never lies And you can't hear her voice from 100 behind Holed up in the past or some dream that you had in your sleep All the things we'll never say boiling up inside of me Need a place to stretch their legs Run around if just pretend Lest their be conceived a doubt Giving birth to eager mouths Hold it fast or let it fade As she slowly walks away I know what time it is Our days they are numbered out one at a time It's no secret that I live 100 behind Holed up in the past or some dream that I had in my sleep Though my legs they will catch up as fast as they can They cannot control who I hold in my hands So I letter and song to a drum that's offbeat with my feet All the things we'll never say boiling up inside of me Need a place to stretch their legs Run around if just pretend Lest their be conceived a doubt Giving birth to eager mouths Hold it fast or let it fade As she slowly walks away I know what time it is
