[They Might Be Giants - 4 of 2 lyrics]
Underneath a big clock at the corner
Of fifth avenue and 22nd street
I stood and waited for a girl I knew
At the spot where we agreed to meet
It was four minutes of two
At four of two I stood waiting for the girl
I was four minutes early for
The date we had planned
I was planning to say I was in love with her
Just as soon as she showed
For a two o'clock date
And the clock said four of two
At four of two I was staring into space
She was not yet late according to the clock
I was feeling nervous so I kept looking up
At the clock sticking out of
The side of the building
And it still said four of two
At four of two I began to feel tired
And I rubbed my eyes and
Again I checked the time
It seemed as if the sky was growing dark
But, I felt reassured when I
Looked at the clock
And it still said four of two
I lay my head down on the sidewalk so in case
She were coming I would have a better view
But no one was there so I stretched out
And closed my eyes for a second or two
It was four minutes of two
At once I awoke to a futuristic world
There were flying cars and
Gigantic metal bugs
I'd grown a beard, it was long and white
But, I knew that the girl
Would be coming very soon
For though everything had changed there
Was still that clock
And it still said four of two
Of fifth avenue and 22nd street
I stood and waited for a girl I knew
At the spot where we agreed to meet
It was four minutes of two
At four of two I stood waiting for the girl
I was four minutes early for
The date we had planned
I was planning to say I was in love with her
Just as soon as she showed
For a two o'clock date
And the clock said four of two
At four of two I was staring into space
She was not yet late according to the clock
I was feeling nervous so I kept looking up
At the clock sticking out of
The side of the building
And it still said four of two
At four of two I began to feel tired
And I rubbed my eyes and
Again I checked the time
It seemed as if the sky was growing dark
But, I felt reassured when I
Looked at the clock
And it still said four of two
I lay my head down on the sidewalk so in case
She were coming I would have a better view
But no one was there so I stretched out
And closed my eyes for a second or two
It was four minutes of two
At once I awoke to a futuristic world
There were flying cars and
Gigantic metal bugs
I'd grown a beard, it was long and white
But, I knew that the girl
Would be coming very soon
For though everything had changed there
Was still that clock
And it still said four of two
