The bloodless toil
The endless foil
You’ll never see your home again
Every time you dial that phone,
It rings like it’s got no end
Life, what precious moments
Like a flood that you can’t reverse
Oh, life of precious moments
And it’s only getting worse
The mud-filled cracks
Of rutted tracks
You’ll never see your mother again
Every time you dig that grave,
Why do you bother trying to fill it in?
[Refrain]
Oh, life, what precious moments
Like a flood that you can’t reverse
Oh, life, what precious moments
And it’s only getting worse
I hate to see what trials can be
Expected of the ordinary
Before you can recoil in horror,
You discover life is life’s destroyer
[Refrain]
I hate to see what trials can be
Expected of the ordinary
We’ve all got some blood for brothers
Why do we never share with other
Sisters pure, the vein is sure
You’ll never hear music again
That’s enough, that’s enough, that’s enough,
Oh, that’s enough
Of life, what precious moments
Like a flood that you can’t reverse
Oh, life, what precious moments
And it’s only getting worse
Don't waste your time, I can’t hear you [x4]
