The Clocks Were Asleep lyrics

The clocks were asleep and asleep's how we found them We found them and wound them again, But they didn't last us till morning and warning That you never should force mechanical things, They are not meant for hardship, they'll snap If you tighten and wind them and pry them and try Just stop right now, now's the time to let go, And stop right now, now's the time to break free The parakeet sitting inside the gazebo Was sighing, though she shouldn't have known How to do anything except tweet, tweet, tweet The gentleman giving the power presentation Felt the bayonet scar on his shoulder reopen A warm trickle of blood through his fresh-pressed shirt, So stop right now, now's the time to let go, And stop right now, now's the time to break free How much do you really know you?
