Around the Dial

Stopped following my dreams They only led to sorrow I’ll just find out where they’re going And I’ll hook up with them tomorrow Follow the hour hand Around the dial All distances be damned Just do the miles Stopped trying to think ahead Now I make everyone wait So get yourself out of bed Hurry up and procrastinate Follow the minute hand Around the dial In all the minutes spanned Make up the miles You can run, you can rush You can slither, creep, or slide Won’t make you walk but please don’t balk When I ask you to do the driving Follow the second hand Around the dial Stop up, kick off the sand You’re gonna do the miles
