The Astronaut Tapes - Chicken Lyrics

Have you heard the story
Of the boy who missed the sign
A harmless game of chicken
Turned into a crime
You know he didn't have the time
To see he was mine
A boy thrown through the windshield
And straight into my arms
Death resting on his shoulder
With a frantic car alarm
You know he didn't have the time
To see he was mine

You know he didn't have the time
To see he was mine
You know he didn't have the time
To see he was mine
You know he didn't have the time
To see he was mine
You know he didn't have the time
To see he was mine

Too chicken to get a hold
Grabbed the wheel then grabbed his soul
Too chicken to get a hold
Grabbed the wheel then grabbed his soul
Too chicken to get a hold
Grabbed the wheel then grabbed his soul
Too chicken to get a hold

Aftermaths hold water
Like his grave in the field
And by his side
His buddy came and kneeled
You know he didn't have the time
To see he was mine

I'll hold your hand
Through the grace and through the flames
How many know
He was lost in a pointless game
You know he didn't have the time
To see he was mine

You know he didn't have the time
To see he was mine
You know he didn't have the time
To see he was mine
You know he didn't have the time
To see he was mine
You know he didn't have the time
To see he was mine

Too chicken to get a hold
Grabbed the wheel then grabbed his soul
Too chicken to get a hold
Grabbed the wheel then grabbed his soul
Too chicken to get a hold
Grabbed the wheel then grabbed his soul
Too chicken to get a hold
Grabbed the wheel without the time

To see he was mine
You know he didn't have the time
To see he was mine
You know he didn't have the time
To see he was mine
You know he didn't have the time
To see he was mine
Some say death's grip can be
So divine
After what I've seen I think I'll
Let go and resign
You know he didn't have the time
To see he was mine
You know he didn't have the time
To see he was mine
