Tags and Lyrics – 6:00 – Dream Theater

[00:44.41]Six o’clock on a Christmas morning…

[00:54.15]And for what?

[00:55.44]

[00:59.21]Well, isn’t it for the honor of God, Aunt Kate?

[01:01.21]I know all about the honor of God, Mary Jane.

[01:04.26]Six o’clock the siren kicks him from a dream

[01:08.93]Tries to shake it off but it just won’t stop

[01:13.34]Can’t find the strength but he’s got promises to keep

[01:17.74]And wood to chop before he sleeps

[01:23.03]I may never get over

[01:25.55]but never’s better than now

[01:27.98]I’ve got bases to cover

[01:30.78]

[01:42.15]He’s in the parking lot and he’s just sitting in his car

[01:47.43]It’s nine o’clock but he can’t get out

[01:51.91]He lights a cigarette

[01:54.17]and turns the music down

[01:56.94]but just can’t seem to shake that sound

[02:01.51]Once I thought I’d get over

[02:04.23]but it’s too late for me now

[02:06.39]I’ve got bases to cover

[02:09.66]

[02:11.28]Melody walks through the door

[02:14.23]and memory flies out the window

[02:17.67]and nobody knows what they want

[02:21.32]’til they finally let it all go

[02:25.13]

[03:13.97]The pain inside, coming outside

[03:52.39]

[04:09.59]So many ways to drown a man

[04:13.00]So many ways to drag him down

[04:16.06]Some are fast and some take years and years

[04:19.91]Can’t hear what he’s saying when he’s talking in his sleep

[04:24.55]He finally found the sound but he’s in too deep

[04:29.64]I could never get over

[04:32.59]Is it too late for me now?

[04:34.64]Feel like blowing my cover

[04:37.38]

[04:38.98]Melody walks through the door

[04:42.48]and memory flies out the window

[04:46.17]and nobody knows what they want

[04:49.61]’til they finally let it all go

[04:53.17]But don’t cut your losses too soon

[04:56.57]’cause you’ll only be cutting your throat

[05:00.31]And answer a call while you still hear at all

[05:03.91]’cause nobody will if you won’t

[05:07.37]Six o’clock on a Christmas morning…

[05:17.24]I know all about the honor of God,  Mary…

[05:24.24]I know all about the honor of God, Mary Jane.

[05:27.79]
