Lately

Lately I've been watching the hands of the clock Ever ticking slowly present like a beating heart Watching Grain after grain of sand Slipping inwards in the eddies of the hourglass Ripping off the tickets of the calendar days We drift through segments of millennial haze Never stationary ever ebbing like a tributary To the ocean where we gather in a soggy singularity Shame shame so glad you came Didn't ask but here you are Slouching in the corner Pants around your knees Sober as the day you were born Shame shame shame shame shame So glad you came Didn't ask but here you are Slouching in the corner Pants around your knees Sober as the day you were born Please calm down It can't be all as bad as that Please calm down You're making a scene But we're all running out of time To put our worlds to rights For all of the things we just haven't got around to So let's start tonight Shame shame so glad you came Didn't ask but here you are Slouching in the corner Pants around your knees Sober as the day you were born Please calm down It can't be all as bad as that Please calm down You're making a scene But we're all running out of time To put our worlds to rights For all of the things we just haven't got around to So let's start tonight And we're all running out of time To put our worlds to rights For all of the things we just haven't got around to So let's start tonight
