Why'd The Boy Throw The Clock Out The Window? lyrics

The fog rose up from hell that day By the river you could hear the lost souls screaming I wish they wouldn't carry on that way Why'd the boy throw the clock out the window? It was something we could never mention Though I know I would have come through soon But you can't pay debts with good intensions Why'd the boy throw the clock out the window? We watched him as his faith was shattered We watched as his confidence disappeared And he turned his back on all that mattered Why'd the boy throw the clock out the window? Of course we cried when we heard the news And we cried when the ice truck pulled away With nothing to gain, so much to lose Why'd the boy throw the clock out the window?
