Stornoway - Clockwatching lyrics
[Stornoway - Clockwatching lyrics]
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
