Dream Theater - 6:00 Lyrics






[Samples from the film "The Dead", an adaptation of James Joyce's short story from his book]
"Six o'clock on a Christmas morning..."
"And for what?"
"Well, isn't it for the honor of God, Aunt Kate?"
"I know all about the honor of God, Mary Jane."

Six o'clock the siren kicks him from a dream
Tries to shake it off but it just won't stop
Can't find the strength but he's got promises to keep
And wood to chop before he sleeps

I may never get over
but never's better than now
I've got bases to cover

He's in the parking lot and he's just sitting in his car
It's nine o'clock but he can't get out
He lights a cigarette
and turns the music down
but just can't seem to shake that sound

Once I thought I'd get over
but it's too late for me now
I've got bases to cover

Melody walks through the door
and memory flies out the window
and nobody knows what they want
'til they finally let it all go

The pain inside
coming outside

So many ways to drown a man
So many ways to drag him down
Some are fast and some take years and years
Can't hear what he's saying when he's talking in his sleep
He finally found the sound but he's in too deep

I could never get over
Is it too late for me now?
Feel like blowing my cover

Melody walks through the door
and memory flies out the window
and nobody knows what they want
'til they finally let it all go

But don't cut your losses too soon
'cause you'll only be cutting your throat
And answer a call while you still hear at all
'cause nobody will if you won't

[Samples from the film "The Dead", an adaptation of James Joyce's short story from his book]
"Six o'clock on a Christmas morning..."
"I know all about the honor of God, Mary..."
"I know all about the honor of God, Mary Jane."

    Listening to this at 6:00 AM on a Christmas morning (2017)

    K.... d....

    Kevin de los Santos I was looking for 2017 comments.

  42. J.... A....

    It's that time of the year again

  43. r.... ....

    In 1994, that drum intro hit me like a ton of bricks and immediately turned me into a Dream Theater junkie.

    r.... ....

    For me it was 1997 - otherwise ditto.

  44. S.... S....

    Notice James LaBrie how he use his voice here. In the live at Luna Park he is far from sing as good as he does here ! Fantastic singing, I love it !

  45. B.... M....

    one of their best musics

  46. J.... B....

    Chuck Norris can play that intro on the triangle.

  47. B.... E....

    Badass song

  48. R.... C....

    Merry Christmas everyone. Don't give up on your dreams or what you're good at.

  49. A.... W....

    I was hoping there'd be someone else who woke up at 6:00 on a Christmas morning today. I was not disappointed.

    A.... W....

    Did it again

  50. e.... j....

    Good one

  65. K.... T....

    Been dream fan when they started in 92

    K.... T....

    Kenny Taylor They started earlier than that

    K.... T....

    @Matt Mose You are nobody

    K.... T....

    Kenny that’s when they started touring the world. The band formed in 1985.

  66. K.... T....

    Bad ass

  67. S.... J....

    Such a epic opening track for a great album...god I absolutely killed this album when I first got into DT..still can't get over the fact portnoy left...& the other guys are douches about..God forbid portnoy wanted to wait a little longer to do a new DT album & was doing other things..they want to rush out & put out stuff that isn't the best...haven't enjoyed anything in las handful of years...Octavarium is the last great album..& is one of greatest IMO.

    S.... J....

    +Stephen Jones he wanted them to go into hiatus for 9 years...tell me you could've lived without a DT album that long :) their new stuff has been great!

    S.... J....

    +ELLODEANSLEY Not 9, it was less, man. He said so in an interview.

    S.... J....

    +mamesushi136 the point still stands. A few years ain't gonna change that.

    S.... J....

    +ELLODEANSLEY I understand that..but you're gonna throw away what? Damn near 30years of friendship & playing together in a great band? I'm pretty sure it was just mostly James & John being a little but hurt & doing the power struggle..where it seems James finally fully swayed John to his side.."nope..we got to go on! No time off!" Cmon man..it would of been like a year or a couple at most..which can be a good thing for a band..especially if they feel they've gotten stale..it's just a shit situation. Winery Dogs if we want Mike I guess.

    S.... J....

    oh cmon. Systematic was the bomb. I also love Silver Lining. The problem is Labrie's voice is so annoying in some places. I think they kept the cringy parts of his voice away on Systematic.

  68. T.... A....

    Mike Mangini murdered  this intro in the Luna park fiasco thing .... men that was so sad and depressing  (MM is a bad ass on the drums ) but NOT for this band  sorry ,

    T.... A....

    @Nate Miller subjective.

  69. P.... I....

    melody is portnoy's daughter. look it up she's a cutie

    P.... I....

    Oh...nevermind, then.

    P.... I....

    pierre ibrahim I think Kevin Moore wrote this about his impending departure from the band.

    P.... I....

    les hawkins he wrote other songs about his impending departure from the band in this album. Innocence Faded is one of them if i am not mistaken

    P.... I....

    Pierre Ibrahim, no, Innocence Faded was written by Petrucci.

    P.... I....

    nobody is gonna mention the pedophilia going on in this comment wtf?

  70. G.... M....

    um grande album comeca com uma grande musica! long live DT!

  71. b.... ....

    i dont give a shit what anyone says, this shit goes fucking hard and i rock the fuck out to it.. especially those drums.. holy fuck yea

  72. j.... d....

    Haven't been feeling their newer stuff as much for a while now. I always come back to this album, it's awesome.

  73. V.... ....

    Every time I listen to this song it blows my mind. It is fucking EPIC!!! Rock on Dream Theater! :-)

    V.... ....

    +Vanmyster94 This was the very first DT song I ever heard. I didn't even know who they were when I bought this album, I just thought the artwork looked cool..... they've been my favorite band since 1998.

    V.... ....

    +Robert Anderson same!

    V.... ....

    +Vanmyster94 No, Progressive rock on dream theater!

    V.... ....

    Prog on!

  74. N.... D....

    This song is amazing.

  75. Z.... S....

    the good ol' days of DT

  76. R.... ....

    Merry Christmas DT fans!

  77. A.... P....

    09:34 on a Christmas morning. Merry Christmas to everyone who, like me, came here looking to see if anyone had commented to the same effect <3

  79. o.... ....

    Most hip sounding Dream Theater. Actually sounds innovative unlike most of their other stuff. I can't believe I used to like this band.

    o.... ....

    That's too bad, but it's your opinion

    o.... ....

    oriondrums2 Nobody gives a fuck

  80. S.... G....

    Saw this at live, it was incredible.

  81. �.... �....

    Высшый  пилотаж!!!!!

  82. P.... A....

    4 people don't know anything about the honor of God, aunt Kate

    P.... A....

    Peter Amaral I know all of the honor of God, Mary Jane!

  83. S.... X....

    Damn, that keyboard solo is out of this world! Never have 3 notes made me feel so good, it's so powerful.

    S.... X....

    good ole kevin moore. the best keyboardist dt ever had

  84. D.... ....

    Absolutely loved this when Vadrum covered it.

  85. f.... ....

    Awesome thanks for sharing!

  86. z.... ....

    DT released a free 2CD compilation of live tracks this morning - at 6:00 a.m on a Christmas morning :-)

  87. F.... ....

    Like this comment if you're listening to this at SIX O' CLOCK ON A CHRISTMAS MORNING

  88. C.... ....

    Murrrrrrrr

  89. M.... ....

    They should have made this song exactly 6 minutes long!

  90. B.... U....

    fuck you wes borland....you couldnt play ONE NOTE of this BRILLIANT FUCKING SONG! THIS SONG JUST RIPS YOUR FUCKING FACE OFF!

  91. B.... M....

    im not sure how he sounds like a "gay-lord"

    the stereotypical flamer doesnt sound like that


    you live under a rock?

  92. B.... M....

    it is about the growing distance between john and kevin i believe

  93. T.... ....

    All in.

  94. S.... M....

    Moore also uses James Joyce audio clips in "Eve", the instrumental B-side to The Silent Man

  95. S.... M....

    It's by Moore, about him struggling between staying and leaving.

  96. l.... ....

    The honor of God Mary Jane thing comes from a short story called the Dead by James Joyce. I found this out purely by coincidence when I read the story in my English class.

  97. J.... C....

    Portnoy <3 jajajaj xDD he's my favourite drummer D: I've learned a lot from him (Y) Dream theater, they're really awesome... lml

  98. M.... C....

    In my opinion LaBrie has best vocals ever.

    M.... C....

    I totally agree!

  99. s.... n....

    Just watch Labrie's perfomances in 2012 and especially on this one. He's fucking mindblowing and he's still getting better.

  100. U.... ....

    lol I know someone already told me :)
