Hey Clockface / How Can You Face Me?
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Dey-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Hey, Clockface
Keep your fingers on the dial
You stole those precious moments
And the kisses from her smile
And now I'm living in these hours
Away we will while
I'm not wasting any more time
Hey, Clockface
I really wanna know
Why is it when we're apart
You always take it slow?
And when she's here
You always say "It's almost time to go"
You said you'd be a friend to me
But time is just my enemy
And it is hurting me so
The moon comes through the window shining crescently and bright
The sun rolls round again
If I could turn your face back
Before all of this started
Forty minutes past four when in secret she parted
Forty minutes past four in the faithless A.M
She wound up in his arms and not the man that I am
A spring that is sprung
A cuckoo-bird that sung
Now there's a nail in a bare wall
Where your face once hung
Hey, Clockface
Now I don't feel a thing
You stole away the heart in me
And then removed my spring
The winding mechanisms shot
The movement is unwound
Don't tick or tock or dare to make a sound
Hey Clockface
Well, don't you ever dare
Count me down to zero hour
And keep me waiting here
A minute from departure
I will twist your key and have her come back to me
Have her come back to me
How can you face me?
After what I've been through?
After you broke that vow
How can you face me now?
How can you face me now?
How can you face me now?
