Precious Moments Lyrics

The bloodless toil

The endless foil

You'll never see your home again

Everytime 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

Everytime you dig that grave

Why do you bother trying to fill it in?



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'll discover life is life's destroyer



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

We've all got some blood for brothers

Why do we never share with others



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

Don't waste your time -- I can't hear you

Don't waste your time -- I can't hear you

Don't waste your time -- I can't hear you...
