Rat Clock

When I awoke, I was on an island

The son was right behind me

My horizon lying sideways, I am sideways

As I spoke, could you feel it humming?

Like a train that won’t stop coming

And a blip that lit up a black mirror

Have you heard fear?

Don’t you worry

Won’t you hurry?

When did you know? Was it gonna bind and did you sign on the dotted line

A snap of the passing time, I am sideways

Year of the rat, clock it into high gear

No sleep can never last here

Won’t you stash the bags and wait near

Have you heard fear?

Don’t you worry

Won’t you hurry?

Don’t you worry, won’t you hurry now?

Don’t you worry, won’t you hurry now?

Don’t you worry, won’t you hurry now?

If you need it, lie and say that you’ll be there

Cry a tear now and don’t you, don’t you keep it in

If you need it, up and dancing on ceiling

Cry all year and feed it, don’t you let it in

Don’t you worry

Won’t you hurry?

Don’t you worry

Won’t you hurry?

Don’t you worry, won’t you hurry now?

Don’t you worry, won’t you hurry now?

Don’t you worry, won’t you hurry now?
