The Clocks Were Asleep

[Verse 1]

The clocks were asleep

And asleep's how we found them

We found them and wound them again

But they didn't last us till morning

A warning:

That you never should force mechanical things

They are not meant for hardship, they'll snap

If you tighten and wind them and pry them and try

[Chorus]

Just stop right now

Now's the time to let go

And stop right now

Now's the time to break free

[Verse 2]

The parakeet sitting inside the gazebo

Was sighing though she shouldn't've known

How to do anything except tweet tweet tweet

The gentleman giving the Power presentation

Felt the bayonet scar on his shoulder

He opened a warm trickle of blood through his

Fresh-pressed shirt

[Chorus]

So stop right now

Now's the time to let go

And stop right now

Now's the time to break free

Oh, oh

Free

How much do you really know you?
