I etched a face of a stopwatch

On the back of a raindrop

And did a swap for the sand in an hourglass

I heard an unhappy ending

It sort of sounds like you leaving

I heard the piledriver waltz

It woke me up this morning

You look like you've been for breakfast

At the heartbreak hotel

And sat in the back booth

By the pamphlets and the literature

On how to lose

Your waitress was miserable

And so was your food

If you're gonna try and walk on water

Make sure you wear your comfortable shoes

Mystery's flashing amber

Go green when you answer

But the red on the rest of the questionnaire

Never changes

I heard the news that you're planning

To shoot me out of a cannon

I heard the piledriver waltz

It woke me up this morning

You look like you've been for breakfast

At the heartbreak hotel

And sat in the back booth

By the pamphlets and the literature

On how to lose

Your waitress was miserable

And so was your food

If you're gonna try and walk on water

Make sure you wear your comfortable shoes

Ohh piledriver
