lyrics

How many times will it take
To expect what you anticipate
If you're hungry the Queen will bake
That evil poison coma Snow White cake
How many times have you been roused awake
From a dream for indigestions sake
How many times will it take
To make the most of the time there is to make

How many times will it take
To tell the bad apart from the good
How many times does it take
To understand what cannot be understood
How many times will it take tell me
The hypothesis you'd make
About as many many times as it takes
Until your whole entire skeleton breaks

Hourglass grains of sand suspend what you understand
Your supply and demand leaves bloodstains on my hand

How many leaves can you rake up before
There's not one leaf left up in the tree
It's been what it will be
Is what I've come to believe to see
Love in this world is free
I don't care what you say about me
With no expectations from me
I've only done what I can to have been what I could be

How many times will it take?
