Hourglass

I feel like I'm pounding on a big door
No one can hear me knockin'
I feel like I'm fallin' flat to the floor
No one can catch me from fallin'

The hourglass has no more grains of sand
My watch has stopped, no more turnin' hands
The crew have abandoned the ship
The lights are on but no one is in

Take it to the bridge, throw it overboard
See if it can swim back up to the shore
No one's in the house, everyone is out
All the lights are on and the blinds are down

Take it to the bridge, throw it overboard
See if it can swim back up to the shore
No one's in the house, everyone is out
All the lights are on and the blinds are down

I feel like I'm callin' on a telephone
No one can hear the ringin'
I feel like I'm runnin' up a steep hill
No one can stop me from runnin'

The hourglass has no more grains of sand
My watch has stopped, no more turnin' hands
The little hand shakes its fist
The face is hangin' out on a spring

Take it to the bridge, throw it overboard
See if it can swim back up to the shore
No one's in the house, everyone is out
All the lights are on and the blinds are down

Take it to the bridge, throw it overboard
See if it can swim back up to the shore
No one's in the house, everyone is out
All the lights are on and the blinds are down

Take it to the bridge, throw it overboard
See if it can swim back up to the shore
No one's in the house, everyone is out
All the lights are on and the blinds are down

Take it to the bridge, throw it overboard
See if it can swim back up to the shore
No one's in the house, everyone is out
All the lights are on and the blinds are down

The hourglass has no more grains of sand
Little red grains of sand
My watch has stopped, no more turnin' hands
Little green neon hands

Take it to the bridge, throw it overboard
See if it can swim back up to the shore
No one's in the house, everyone is out
All the lights are on and the blinds are down

Take it to the bridge, throw it overboard
See if it can swim back up to the shore
No one's in the house, everyone is out
All the lights are on and the blinds are down

Feel like I'm callin' back to the shore
No one can hear me callin'
Feel like I'm fallin' back to the floor
No one can catch me from fallin'

Feel like I'm callin' (take it to the bridge, throw it overboard)
(See if it can swim) close the doors (back up to the shore)
(No one's in the house, everyone is out) hear me callin'
(All the lights are on and the blinds are down)
