Regina Spektor - The Clocks Were Asleep Lyrics

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 and 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
just stop right now, now’s the time to let go
and stop right now, now’s the time to break free

the parakeet sitting inside the gazebo
was sighing, though she shouldn’t have know how
to do anything except tweet tweet tweet
the gentleman giving the power presentation
felt the bayonet scar on his shoulder reopen
a warm trickle of blood through his fresh-pressed shirt
so stop right now, now’s the time to let go
and stop right now, now’s the time to break free

how much do you really know you?
