early in the morning
when the day begins
Saint Martha comes a-calling
and you let her in
she is easily as hard as they come

but it’s alright now if you don’t know
sooner or later its bound to show

she walks right in
like she’s been there all along
and there is no time to wonder
which one of you belongs
just time to collect it all
and put it in a drum

but it’s alright now if you don’t know
sooner or later its bound to show

she can keep all your clocks together
and get you out on time
she can take away your worries
and straighten out your mind
is it really any wonder
everybody wants to get what comes

but it’s alright now if you don’t know
sooner or later its bound to show

she carries all the questions
you can put your answers to
she can make or break the brainless one
no matter if its true
is it really any wonder
so few ever get it done

but it’s alright now if you don’t know
sooner or later its bound to show

she can set your life to music
or make it impossible to sing
you will realize too late
she can do anything
you will try to slow her down but she will
keep you on the run

but it’s alright now if you don’t know
sooner or later its bound to show

late inside the midnight
as the clock begins to spin
Saint Martha will be leaving you
and who could keep her in
she has left you in a corner
and you’ll be there till dawn

but it’s alright now if you don’t know
sooner or later its bound to show
