[rev. May 31, 2004]

One of these days
One of these days
One of these days
One of these days you're gonna find
You're suddenly stripped of time
And you're gonna find your clocks are behind
And the mole in the mob with his ludicrous god
Protecting the poor and civilized crowd
Teaching those strangers how to be proud
From the depths of Stygian pits
Contaminated alibis, straightjacket fits

And when I say you're not thinking straight
I really gotta tell you mate
It's checkmate
Ain't that great?
Do you believe in fate?

One of these days, and it's coming soon
When they finish, finally, fucking up the moon
And when we get our galaxy back
And when we gonna get our frequency back
'Cause it's not a lot to ask when performing a task
That you put aside your differences, put away the mask
Everyone here can sigh of relief
'Cause they nailed the robber, and they nailed the thief

And when I say you're not thinking straight
I really got to tell you mate
It's checkmate
Ain't that great?
Do you believe in fate?

Sun in the west sky
Moon in the east
Morning comes and changes everything

Stars in the north sky
Lights in the south
Evening comes and changes everything

Sun in the west sky
Moon in the east
Morning comes and changes everything

Stars in the north sky
Lights in the south
Evening comes and changes everything

Sun in the west sky
Moon in the east
Morning comes and changes everything

Well, I don't give a fat baby's dick
About how your husband gets his kicks
'Cause he sure ain't no Ben Affleck
His treason, reasonable
And why does it always have to (have to) rhyme
What a (what a) waste of time
I don't seem to learn my lesson
I dash my hopes, I salt my blessings
I'll admit I hate confessing

Sun in the west sky
Moon in the east
Morning comes and changes everything

Stars in the north sky
Lights in the south
Evening comes and changes everything
