Those blasted clocks have all run down Oh, does time stand still without you around The birds don't sing their little song The prophecies have all proved wrong
The Persian rugs have gone thread-bare The waxy moon has lost its flair The wishes drown beneath the well The razor blades have all gone dull
But this is confidential you're the one to blame And now the forecast calls perpetually for rain And although it's rather late, I lie awake in vain 'Cause I'm still waiting for what's wonderful Just the other side of pain
Meticulous has run amok The rabbit’s fourth day’s out of luck The tightrope walker needs a lift The contortionists have all gone stiff
But this is confidential you're the one to blame And now the forecast calls perpetually for rain And although it's rather late, I lie awake in vain 'Cause I'm still waiting for what's wonderful Just the other side of pain
Quicksilver slows down into gold Count St Germain is getting old Elysian Fields are dead and brown Your picture’s hanging upside down
But this is confidential you're the one to blame And now the forecast calls incessantly for rain And although it's rather late, I lie awake in vain 'Cause I'm still waiting for what's wonderful Just the other side of pain
