Like Clockwork

I'm not disconnected I'm not unaware I'm in one place at one time I'm neither here nor there I'm hooked to the mainstream, tuned into the world Plugged into my surroundings, not out on a limb I'm thinking in a straight line I'm thinking that these thoughts are mine My heart is beating oh so fast I feel the hours crashing down My mind beats time like clockwork And I think in sync like clockwork She's done away with emotion She sees things clearly now She says she sees it all from her room And it looks so small from her room It's alright (It's alright), it's alright (It's alright) I'm on your side for a while She thinks time is a concept by which we measure our age She wants to say it again, but she don't have time Because her heart beats time like clockwork And she thinks in sync like clockwork Count the hours, count the months and minutes You're born in tears and you die in pain and that's your limit You're lookin' for so many reasons but there's none there Why don't you admit it We'll make the most of what we've got, that's the ticket My, my, my, my, my, my I stayed in that room a long, long time And watched the seasons gliding by And hey! What's the matter? We've got time, lots of time It's alright (It's alright), it's alright (It's alright) I'm on your side for a while We wind up, we slow down We speed up, move around, and we maybe overwind Because our minds beat time like clockwork And we think in sync like clockwork And our minds beat time like clockwork And we think in sync like clockwork
