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
