Stopwatch Always Ticking
Don't you think you've been running away for far too long
Been hiding out in places where you know you just don't belong
So hey you lazy dog come down from the sky
You're old enough now to find out why
I need another minute of eternal fame
We were doing just fine until you took the blame
The boundless ocean swells before me
As I stand alone and wait for God
I've been watching in the darkness since the day you got here
But you'll all be gone by the day I appear
But what I'm waiting for I couldn't say (What am I waiting for)
My head is spinning and my vision's gone grey (My vision's gone grey)
I sit back on the sofa just like every morning (Sit back on the sofa)
Nowhere to go so the tears start pouring (Go and cry your eyes out)
Before you know it all your life has slipped away (Your life has slipped away)
Standing in the rain with nothing to say (Standing in the rain)
Waiting for a minute till something appears (Just wait for one more minute)
Look around see you've been waiting five years (You've been waiting five long years)
Take a walk along the water, come and talk to me
You say you can't be persuaded but let's wait and see
When the time has come to see me through
I'll step on out right next to you
So go on and wait upon the shore
Watch the tide until you're bored
In forty years I'll walk on by
And maybe look you in the eye
Been hiding out in places where you know you just don't belong
So hey you lazy dog come down from the sky
You're old enough now to find out why
I need another minute of eternal fame
We were doing just fine until you took the blame
The boundless ocean swells before me
As I stand alone and wait for God
I've been watching in the darkness since the day you got here
But you'll all be gone by the day I appear
But what I'm waiting for I couldn't say (What am I waiting for)
My head is spinning and my vision's gone grey (My vision's gone grey)
I sit back on the sofa just like every morning (Sit back on the sofa)
Nowhere to go so the tears start pouring (Go and cry your eyes out)
Before you know it all your life has slipped away (Your life has slipped away)
Standing in the rain with nothing to say (Standing in the rain)
Waiting for a minute till something appears (Just wait for one more minute)
Look around see you've been waiting five years (You've been waiting five long years)
Take a walk along the water, come and talk to me
You say you can't be persuaded but let's wait and see
When the time has come to see me through
I'll step on out right next to you
So go on and wait upon the shore
Watch the tide until you're bored
In forty years I'll walk on by
And maybe look you in the eye
