Lyrics

I feel like I'm pounding on a big door No one can hear me knocking I feel like I'm falling flat to the floor No one can catch me from falling The hourglass has no more grains of sand My watch has stopped, no more turning hands The crew have abandoned the ship The lights are on but no one is in Take it to the bridge, throw it overboard See if it can swim, back up to the shore No one's in the house, everyone is out All the lights are on and the blinds are down Take it to the bridge, throw it overboard See if it can swim, back up to the shore No one's in the house, everyone is out All the lights are on and the blinds are down I feel like I'm calling on a telephone No one can hear the ringing I feel like I'm running up a steep hill No one can stop me from running The hourglass has no more grains of sand My watch has stopped, no more turning hands The little hand shakes its fist The face is hanging out on a spring Take it to the bridge, throw it overboard See if it can swim, back up to the shore No one's in the house, everyone is out All the lights are on and the blinds are down Take it to the bridge, throw it overboard See if it can swim, back up to the shore No one's in the house, everyone is out All the lights are on and the blinds are down Take it to the bridge, throw it overboard See if it can swim, back up to the shore No one's in the house, everyone is out All the lights are on and the blinds are down Take it to the bridge, throw it overboard See if it can swim, back up to the shore No one's in the house, everyone is out All the lights are on and the blinds are down The hourglass has no more grains of sand Little red grains of sand My watch has stopped, no more turning hands Little green neon hands Take it to the bridge, throw it overboard See if it can swim, back up to the shore No one's in the house, everyone is out All the lights are on and the blinds are down Take it to the bridge, throw it overboard See if it can swim, back up to the shore No one's in the house, everyone is out All the lights are on and the blinds are down Feel like I'm calling back to the shore No one can hear me calling Feel like I'm falling back to the floor No one can catch me from falling Take it to the bridge, throw it overboard See if it can swim, back up to the shore No one's in the house, everyone is out All the lights are on and the blinds are down
