Ok, here's what I've got for the "Father Time" lyrics but I need a little help with one part...
Father Time
Have you heard about the mice? They're makin love they're growin up They made a pact to circle us Have you heard about the snake? He figured that he'd shed his skin Slide away again, begin It's easy to retreat Than to face yourself And let things fall in place there's no way to describe the way I feel today But I still feel okay Do you think you look like hell? It's hard to hug you from a shell Give it up for the snail It's not easy for the bees They pack a knife to the job They try to keep from getting robbed It's easy to retreat Than to face yourself And let things fall in place There's no words to describe the way I feel today But I still feel okay The human heart is there to crush Father time looks over us You'll miss it all if you rush Did you listen to the dust? It waits around without a sound to gather us so listen up It's easy to retreat Than to face yourself And let things fall in place There's no words to describe the way I feel today But I still feel okay It's easy to retreat Than to face yourself And let things fall in place There's no words to describe the way I feel today But I still feel okay

I believe your lyrics are correct. I get the same thing when I listen to it (and that is what I have been singing along with!) I think they are right b/c I interpret it as "They pack a knife to the job (the bee stinger to the job of making honey) "They try to keep from getting robbed" (everyone wants to get the honey so they sting 'em). Just my thoughts on it.

I find it amusing that the band is singing about bees... when a bee (girl) is what made 'em famous to begin with!

We should get a thread like this going for every song on the record... or just one master thread with all the song lyrics on it? Everyone could contribute one or more songs....

At one point in time we had a thread going that included all of the new lyrics. I'll have to see if I can dig it up. It's probably buried a few pages deep.
Edit: Ok, I'm gonna lock this thread now. I just found the thread where we were compiling lyrics to all the new songs. I'll paste these lyrics into the first post of that thread. ;D
