lyrics

What time was it again? I know you already said.
All I can recall is broken glass and bending walls

And the hands of the clock snapped, snapped, snapped, cracked in half
Left us out in the street sifting through these fields of trash

What time was it again? I think I fell asleep again.
I think I’m in a dream again. I think I might be lost again.

What time was it again? I heard the cables snap again.
I can’t stop coughing again. What time was it again?

And then it’s sweet. Sweet.
Sweet. Sweet.
You think that you’re asleep again.
You think that you’re asleep again.
It’s sweet. Sweet.
Sweet. Sweet.
You think that you’re asleep again.
You think that you’re asleep again.
It’s sleet. Sleet.
Sleet. Sleet.
You think you might be sick again.
You think you might be lost again.
And sleet. Sleet.
Sleet. Sleet.
What time was it again?

Blue turns to gray turns to brown turns to black
We’re working on a clock or we’re working on a heart attack
What time was it again?
Ashers got a ten speed and glued feathers to the spokes
Rode it down broadway when the clock tower broke.
What time was it again?

What time was it again? What time was it again?
Haven’t seen you in years my fragile little gem
But when you were here you were here and we saw it plain and clear.
I think I might be lost again.

And then it’s sweet. Sweet.
Sweet. Sweet.
You swim until it’s deep and it feels like you’re here
Still it’s sweet. Sweet.
Sweet. Sweet.
You swim until I think you’re here
But you’re not here
It’s sleet. Sleet.
Sleet. Sleet.
I think you might be sick again.
I think you might be lost again.
And sleet. Sleet.
Sleet. Sleet.
What time was it again?

Blue turns to gray turns to brown turns to black
We’re working on a clock or we’re working on a heart attack
What time was it again?
Ashers got a ten speed and she glued feathers to the spokes
Rode it down broadway when the clock tower broke.
What time was it again?

In the exact geographic center of Cheap City stood a clock tower. It was put there by the clock factory, originally set up in the 2nd district but later moved to the 10th. There was a time when everyone worked at the clock factory. They made everything from wristwatches and pocket watches to grandfather clocks and eventually they specialized in the software that tells a computer what time it is even if it’s turned off.

Fragile gem
Fell asleep at work again
Delicate men
I’m resting in your arms again
