Dream Theater Six O`clock Lyrics

Six O`clock Lyrics

"Six o'clock on a Christmas morning..." [4 times]
"And for what?"
"Well,
isn't it for the honor of God, Aunt Kate?"
"I know all about the honor of
God, Mary Jane."

Six o'clock the siren kicks him from a dream
Tries
to shake it off but it just won't stop
Can't find the strength but he's got
promises to keep
And wood to chop before he sleeps

I may never get
over
but never's better than now
I've got bases to cover

He's in
the parking lot and he's just sitting in his car
It's nine o'clock but he
can't get out
He lights a cigarette
and turns the music down
but just
can't seem to shake that sound

Once I thought I'd get over
but it's
too late for me now
I've got bases to cover

Melody walks through the
door
and memory flies out the window
and nobody knows what they
want
'til they finally let it all go

The pain inside
coming
outside

So many ways to drown a man
So many ways to drag him
down
Some are fast and some take years and years
Can't hear what he's
saying when he's talking in his sleep
He finally found the sound but he's in
too deep

I could never get over
Is it too late for me now?
Feel
like blowing my cover

Melody walks through the door
and memory flies
out the window
and nobody knows what they want
'til they finally let it
all go

But don't cut your losses too soon
'cause you'll only be
cutting your throat
And answer a call while you still hear at all
'cause
nobody will if you won't

"Six o'clock on a Christmas morning..." [4
times]
"I know all about the honor of God,
Mary..." [3 times]
"I know
all about the honor of God, Mary Jane."
