[Verse 1]
The goose was plucked and roasted
The goose was not eaten this time
The goose was plucked and roasted
The goose was not eaten this time

[Chorus]
Noon was no longer the hour to eat
Noon was the hour to die

[Verse 2]
A broken wheel
A cracked cap
A wounded baby
A black wrap
A shattered heart
A bleeding bud
A falling light
An unknown son
[Chorus]
Noon was no longer the hour to eat
Noon was the hour to die

[Verse 3]
Scar in the soil
A strung out rose with no thorns
Penny in the pavement
A leaking barrel and I was born

(Noon was no longer the hour to eat)

[Chorus]
Noon was no longer the hour to eat
Noon was the hour to die

Noon was no longer the hour to eat
Noon was the hour to die
