Like Clockwork |
| I’m not disconnected |
| I’m not unaware |
| I’m in one place at one time |
| I’m neither here nor there |
| I’m hooked to the mainstream |
| Tuned into the world |
| Plugged into my surroundings |
| I’m not out on a limb |
| I’m thinking in a straight line |
| I’m thinking that these thoughts are mine |
| My heart is beating oh so fast |
| I feel the hours crashing |
| Because my mind keeps time like clockwork |
| And I think in sync like clockwork |
| She’s done away with emotion |
| She sees things clearly now |
| She says she sees it all from her room |
| And it looks so small from her room |
| It’s all right, it’s all right |
| I’m on your side… for a while |
| She thinks time is a concept by which we measure our pain |
| (She'll say it again) |
| She wants to say it again, but she don’t have time |
| And now her heart beats time like clockwork |
| And she thinks in sync like clockwork |
| Count the hours, count the months and minutes |
| You’re born in tears and die in pain and that’s your limit |
| You’re lookin' for a reason but there’s none |
| There, why don’t you admit it |
| We’ll make the most of what we’ve got, that’s the tickit |
| My, my, my |
| I stayed in that room a long, long time |
| And watched the seasons gliding past |
| And hey… what's the matter? |
| We’ve got time, lots of time |
| It’s alright, it’s alright |
| I’m on your side for a while |
| We’ll wind up |
| We’ll slow down |
| We’ll speed up or slow down and we’ll maybe overwind… |
| But now or minds, etc |
