lyrics

Push that rock
Til it drops
Again and again
Sisyphean

Punch that clock
Til it stops
Again and again
Sisyphean

Bukowski, post officer
Einstein, patent clerk
Da vinci, engineer
They all put in work

Jesus Christ, Carpenter
Che Guevara treated lepers
Julia Child and the CIA
We all put in work

Push that rock
Til it drops
Again and again
Sisyphean

Punch that clock
Til it stops
Again and again
Sisyphean

At the mountain he must face each day
Sisyphus punches in in the morning
In hell for eternity
Patient with death and belonging

The universe henceforth without a master
Each flake of that night filled mountain
Struggle enough to fill a man’s heart
Happiness resounding

Push that rock
Til it drops
Again and again
Sisyphean

Punch that clock
Til it stops
Again and again
Sisyphean
