Clockwatching Lyrics by Stornoway

You Don’t Know Anything

2013

Time drags on
Time drags on

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
