I etched the face of a stopwatch on the back of a raindrop
And did a swap for the sand in an hourglass
I heard an unhappy ending, it sort of sounds like you leaving
I heard the piledriver waltz, it woke me up this morning

You look like you've been for breakfast at the Heartbreak Hotel
And sat in the back booth by the pamphlets and the literature
On how to lose your waitress was miserable and so was your food
If you're gonna try and walk on water make sure
You wear [bad word] shoes

Mysteries flashing amber go green when you answer
But the red on the rest of the questionnaire never changes
I heard the news that you're planning to shoot me out of a cannon
I heard the piledriver waltz, it woke me up this morning

You look like you've been for breakfast at the Heartbreak Hotel
And sat in the back booth by the pamphlets and the literature
On how to lose your waitress was miserable and so was your food
If you're gonna try and walk on water make sure
You wear [bad word] shoes

Oh, piledriver...
