TIME SHARE
[Verse]
I'm the import king of Berlin
with a host of timeshares.
I oversee all trading grounds
and bazaars of the citadel.
I walk the open air markets
in the ghettos at night
where merchants shave without water
and swat their hands at flies.
Every fly that tickles their neck
leaves a stain or drops eggs.
[Chorus]
If they could find the spot
where the worms become flies
they would surely have got
their share of time.
They would surely have luck
finding their share of time.
[Verse]
I used to design women's silk
with paisley that would trance.
Until the moths got so bad
I had to sell off my lamps.
Business never picked up again
until I learned the holes
could be sewn over mirrors
and turned like a kaleidoscope.
Following the lights with their eyes
they got their share of time.
[Chorus]
There is always a spot
where a ripple of light
forms a peephole that allots
fair shares of time.
The patient have found
their share of time.
[Epilogue]
Which one is merry?
Which one is nigh?
The patient have found
their share of time.
