Lyrics

Can't place attachment to such a contraption
At such an early hour
In such a desperate state
Won't rest on promises, or guarantees, or contracts
That don't lend any power or influence to fate
This device may make the vulnerable visible
And the complex simple
Blast delusions of grandeur out of the sky
But the result is asleep on the floor
With a bottle of wine
And I, and I, and I
Thinks he's probably not as clever as he thinks he is
5pm, a bright idea, sitting on the fence like a schoolboy waiting
For his father to come home
Sitting on that plane, getting cheated out of Thursday
All because of laws about time and space
Across the aisle, his tie wrapped around his neck
Arms wrapped 'round a briefcase
Like it's something or someone more important
In all the excitement, you can see the comet from here
You can see anything you wanna see
Magnified five hundred times
I only wanna see you
But there's a comet blocking my view
No, we're probably not as clever as we think we are
5pm, a bright idea, sitting on the fence like a schoolboy waiting
For his father to come home
He must have fallen asleep on the train
Must have missed his stop
I know you, and you know me
But I've got a telescope now, and it's all that I need
It's all that I need
It's all that I need
You're all that I need
All that I need
(5pm, a bright idea, sitting on the fence like a schoolboy waiting)
For his father to come home
He must have fallen asleep on the train
Must have missed his stop
I know you, and you know me
But I've got a telescope now, and it's all that I need
It's all that I need
I can see
I can see
I can see...
