Lyrics
Look at you go sister, look at you jump the gun.
Ridin’ the rails like a freight train on a dead-end run
Look at that sugar shack shakin’, look at that maple drip.
Nothing in the world as good as the sweetness on your lips
Who’s time? Your time. And there it goes. Flirt and flutter like a murder of crows
Look at her kick and screamin’, look at her beat that
Like she’s been put upon by everything and everyone
Look at those wheels spinnin’, listen to her engine whine
She used to idle soft and pretty, now she runs over to the redline
Who’s time? Your time. And there it goes. Flirt and flutter like a murder of crows
And when the light has all but fallen, we watch them pitch and rise in waves
Much ado about nothing much at all, it’s just a game they like to play
Look at that still smokin’ and thumpin’ that copper line
Even if the mash is rotten, somebody gonna drink that shine
Who’s time? Your time. And there it goes. Flirt and flutter like a murder of crows
