6:00 Lyrics - Dream Theater

"Six o'clock on a Christmas morning..." 

"And for what?" 

"Well, isn't it for the honor of God, Aunt Kate?" 

"I know all about the honor of God, Mary Jane." 

Six o'clock and a siren kicks him from a dream 

Tries to shake it off but it just won't stop 

Can't find the strength but he's got promises to keep 

And wood to chop before he sleeps 

I may never get over 

But never's better than now 

I've got bases to cover 

He's in the parking lot and he's just sitting in his car 

It's nine o'clock but he can't get out 

He lights a cigarette and he turns the music down 

But just can't seem to shake that sound

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Once I thought I'd get over 

But it's too late for me now 

I've got bases to cover 

Melody walks through the door 

And memory flies out the window 

And nobody knows what they want 

'til they finally let it all go 

The pain inside 

Coming outside 

So many ways to drown a man, so many ways to drag him down 

Some are fast and some take years and years 

He can't hear what he's saying when he's talking in his sleep 

He finally found the sound but he's in too deep 

I could never get over 

Is it too late for me now? 

Feel like blowing my cover

Melody walks through the door 

And memory flies out the window 

And nobody knows what they want 

'til they finally let it all go 

But don't cut your losses too soon 

'cause you'll only be cutting your throat 

And answer a call while you still hear at all 

'cause nobody will if you won't 

"Six o'clock on a Christmas morning..." 

"I know all about the honor of God, Mary Jane."
