I don't usually wear a watch
'Cos Time is time all over
All that matters is the thirst
When the thirst takes over
Half past five or half past ten
Half past twelve whatever
When the craving comes around
Then the thirst takes over
There's no stopping pouring it
It flows like the Wild Rover
And sinks so easy down the throat
When the thirst takes over
Nought nor nothing mean a jot
When I smell the odour
I'm a lost soul, doomed and damned
When the thirst takes over
