lyrics

I’m out on a limb in our garden of Eden
’cause I see snakes corrupting souls
embarrassment embodied, shattered love
oh god, will you ever have enough

My ears are full, your mouth’s still feeding
your poison a passion, taking a toll
your beak a leak, it keeps passing gas
oh god, you’re a snake in the grass

I have no time
I have no time for
one too may vipers in the garden of Eden
when the world is bleeding

Out on a limb, what’s that goal
I see snakes corrupting souls
embarrassed bodies, shattered love
oh my, it’s never never never never never enough

I have no time
I have no time to...
I have no time 3?
I have no time for!
one too many vipers in the garden of Eden
and all the while the world is bleeding
well, I guess the grass needs weeding

I remember now, how my friends once said:
you should pay rent inside my head...
fangs but no fangs, homegrown god
question is, are you ever gonna stop

I have no time
I have no time to...
I have no time 3?
I have no time for you
