There Will Be Time - Me Like Bees

Hey man, take it easy on that cigarette

It’s not a race, 'least not one you’ll win

What is that your chipping at in your head

You say I’d know if I’d stick around

I think that’s a burn but we seldom learn

You know fire’s too strict a teacher

Stoking up the coal with another pull

Silence and smoke poured out

But there’ll be time in distant days

Time enough for me to shape my ways

Where my ambitions lift my indifference

And no more of the day is a waste

Get me on the next one I want out

On a bus or train just something

If you traced these city limits from the map

I swear you’d draw a mouth

I promised the neighbor lady I’d look after her cats

Over the summer (summer)

Kind of made fume that she’d duly assume

That I’d just be around

Before the Earth swallows us up

Before the dirt begins to fill my cup

And the stuff inside of me is made a feast

For the earthworms and digging grubs

But the thing that I wanted and came here to say

Was «all of it goes a different way»

And you think that you’ll go but you end up

Sticking around

But I think what I heard Bill Murray say

Was «all of it goes a different way»

And don’t think that you’ll go just to end up

Sticking around

But there’ll be time in distant days

Time enough for me to shape my ways

Where my ambitions lift my indifference

And no more of the day is a waste

Hope to know all I’ve spent

Time and love and money for the rent

I hope to know what was and wasn’t meant

To be sought out on the firmament

But the thing that I wanted and came back to say

Was «all of it goes a different way»

You think that you’ll go and you end up

Sticking around

But I think what I heard Bill Murray say

Was «all of it goes a different way»

Don’t think that you’ll go just to end up

Sticking around
