I'm not disconnected
|
I'm not unaware
|
I'm in one place at one time
|
I'm neither here nor there
|
I'm hooked to the mainstream,
|
Tuned into the world
|
Plugged into my surroundings,
|
I'm not out on a limb.
|
I'm thinking in a straight line,
|
I'm thinking that these thoughts are mine,
|
My heart is beating oh so fast
|
I feel the hours crashing
|
Because my mind keeps time like clockwork,
|
And I think in sync like clockwork.
|
|
She's done away with emotion,
|
She sees things clearly now.
|
She says she sees it all from her room
|
And it looks so small from her room
|
It's all right, it's all right,
|
I'm on your side...for a while,
|
She thinks time is a concept by which we measure our pain
|
(She'll say it again)
|
She wants to say it again, but she don't have time,
|
And now her heart beats time like clockwork
|
And she thinks in sync like clockwork
|
|
Count the hours, count the months and minutes,
|
You're born in tears and die in pain and that's your limit
|
You're lookin' for a reason but there's none
|
There, why don't you admit it
|
We'll make the most of what we've got, that's the tickit
|
My, my, my.
|
|
I stayed in that room a long, long time
|
And watched the seasons gliding past
|
And hey...what's the matter?,
|
We've got time, lots of time
|
It's alright, it's alright,
|
I'm on your side for a while,
|
We'll wind up
|
We'll slow down
|
We'll speed up or slow down and we'll maybe overwind...
|
but now or minds, etc.
