Sleep The Clock Around
|
|
And the moment will come when composure returns
|
Put a face on the world, turn your back to the wall
|
And you walk twenty yards with your head in the air
|
Down the Liberty Hill, where the fashion brigade
|
Look with curious eyes on your raggedy way
|
And for once in your life you have nothing to say
|
And could this be the time when somebody will come
|
To say, "Look at yourself, you're not much use to anyone"
|
Take a walk in the park, take a valium pill
|
Read the letter you got from the memory girl
|
But it takes more than this to make sense of the day
|
Yeah it takes more than milk to get rid of the taste
|
And you trusted to this, and you trusted to that
|
And when you saw it all come, it was waving the flag
|
Of the United States of Calamity, hey!
|
After all that you've done boy, Im sure you're going to pay
|
|
In the morning you come to the ladies salon
|
To get all fitted out for The Paperback Throne
|
But the people are living far away from the place
|
Where you wanted to help, it's a bit of a waste
|
And the puzzle will last till somebody will say
|
"There's a lot to be done while your head is still young"
|
If you put down your pen, leave your worries behind
|
Then the moment will come, and the memory will shine
|
|
Now the trouble is over, everybody got paid
|
Everybody is happy, they are glad that they came
|
Then you go to the place where you've finally found
|
You can look at yourself sleep the clock around
|
