Time Will Crawl Lyrics - Never Let Me Down - David Bowie

I've never sailed on a sea 

I would not challenge a giant 

I could not take on the church 

Time will crawl 

Till the 21st century lose 

I know a government man 

He was as blind as the moon 

He saw the sun in the night 

He took a top-gun pilot 

He made him fly thru a hole 

Till he grew real old 

And he never came down 

He just flew till he burst

Time will crawl till our mouths run dry 

Time will crawl till our feet grow small 

Time will crawl till our tails fall off 

Time will crawl till the 21st century lose 

I saw a black black stream 

Full of white eyed fish 

And a drowning man 

With no eyes at all 

I felt a warm warm breeze 

That melted metal and steel 

I got a bad migraine 

That lasted three long years 

And the pills that I took 

Made my fingers disappear 

Time will crawl, time will crawl 

Time will crawl 

Till the 21st century lose

You were a talented child 

... 

You came to live in our town 

We never bothered to scream 

When your mask went on 

We only smelt the gas 

As we lay down to sleep 

Time will crawl and our heads bowed down 

Time will crawl and our eyes fall out 

Time will crawl and the streets run red 

Time will crawl till the 21st century lose 

Time will crawl and our mouths run dry 

Time will crawl and our feet grow small 

Time will crawl and our tails fall off 

Time will crawl till the 21st century lose 

Time will crawl and our heads bowed down 

Time will crawl and our eyes fall out 

Time will crawl and the streets run red 

Time will crawl till the 21st century lose 

For the crazy child 

We'll give every life 

For the crackpot notion
