Lyrics

The Hourglass

She came to town like a hurricane
With a New York groove
Just a girl with something to prove
All the way to Hollywood
Just a drop in the bucket
You’re a long long way from home
Just a drop in the bucket
You’re a long long way from home
Nineteen on the boulevard
She’s a punk rock girl
In a punk rock world of her own

The story of your life
Like a grain of sand in the hourglass
Don’t let it pass you by
The story of your life
All the people you meet
All the places you’ve been
Like a grain of sand in the hourglass

Shake it up like an earthquake
Turn the blue lamp on
There’s a mad dog in the fog
Cable cars all ringin’ their bells
Gonna catch that train
All the way to the Hollywood Bowl

The city lights in the desert night
Like a grain of sand in the hourglass
Don’t let it pass you by
The story of your life
All the people you meet
All the places you’ve been
Like a grain of sand in the hourglass

Sunrise in the southern skies
All the good ole boys
You’re a long long way from home
All the good ole boys
You’re a long long way from home

The northern lights are shining bright
The story of your life
Like a grain of sand in the hourglass
Don’t let it pass you by
The story of your life
All the people you meet
All the places you’ve been
Like a grain of sand in the hourglass
