Hourglass – A Perfect Circle

Hourglass

Red flag red,
all the sentinels are damned
The Tokyo kitty,
swallow, rose, and canary
Tick tick tick, do you recognize the sounds
as the grains count down
Trickle down right in front of you?

A little tickle tickle tickle,
all your neck hairs prickle
As they barbecue the sentinels
then eat them right in front of you
Hourglass smashed, a billion little pieces
The count down, carry on: five, four, three, two

Aristocrat breaks down too
Democrat breaks down too
Oligarch breaks down too
Republicrat breaks down too
Aristocrat breaks down too
Democrat breaks down too
Oligarch breaks down too
Republicrat breaks down too
No hope left in the hourglass

Tickle tickle tickle,

As they barbecue the sentinels
then eat them right in front of you
Hourglass smashed, a million little pieces
