Sleep The Clock Around Lyrics

And the moment will come when composure returns

 Put a face on the world, turn your back to the wall

 And you walk twenty yards with your head in the air

 Down the Liberty Hill, where the fashion brigade

 Look with curious eyes on your raggedy way

 And for once in your life you have nothing to say

 And could this be the time when somebody will come

 To say, 'Look at yourself, you're not much use to anyone'

 

 Take a walk in the park, take a valium pill

 Read the letter you got from the memory girl

 But it takes more than this to make sense of the day

 Yeah it takes more than milk to get rid of the taste

 And you trusted to this, and you trusted to that

 And when you saw it all come, it was waving the flag

 Of the United States of Calamity, hey!

 After all that you've done boy, Im sure you're going to pay

 

 In the morning you come to the ladies salon

 To get all fitted out for The Paperback Throne

 But the people are living far away from the place

 Where you wanted to help, it's a bit of a waste

 And the puzzle will last till somebody will say

 'There's a lot to be done while your head is still young'

 If you put down your pen, leave your worries behind

 Then the moment will come, and the memory will shine

 

 Now the trouble is over, everybody got paid

 Everybody is happy, they are glad that they came

 Then you go to the place where you've finally found

 You can look at yourself sleep the clock around
