Clockwatching

Time drags on Time drags on I would leave this windowless room And step out into the Autumn air I would leave these four reverberating walls Then go out the sound that's more than I can bear Because it scares me to see the wild look in their eyes It scares me to see all the machines and the wires It scares me that I know that i mustn't ever let it show It scares me to see the drops of blood in the hall It scares me to hear them crawling under the door It scares me that I know that i mustn't ever let it show Time drags on Time drags on I would leave this mad house on the hill Where everyone seems so damn calm Don't they realise something must be going wrong Is this supposed to be happening shall I ring the alarm Because it scares me to see the wild look in their eyes It scares me to see all the machines and the wires It scares me that I know that i mustn't ever let it show It scares me to see the drops of blood in the hall It scares me to hear them crawling under the door It scares me that I know that i mustn't ever let it show Time drags on Time drags on Time drags on Time drags on I would leave this floor of pacing feet Where my tongue's too big for my own mouth And my eyes are too big for my shrinking head And the hands on the floor keep on slowing down And it scares me to see the wild look in their eyes It scares me to see all the machines and the wires It scares me 'cus I know that i mustn't ever let it show It scares me to see the drops of blood in the hall It scares me to hear them crawling under the door It scares me 'cus I know that i mustn't ever let it show
