The Clocks Were Asleep letra

The clocks were asleep and asleep's how we found them
We found them and wound them again,
But they didn't last us till morning and warning
That you never should force mechanical things,
They are not meant for hardship, they'll snap
If you tighten and wind them and pry them and try
Just stop right now, now's the time to let go,
And stop right now, now's the time to break free

The parakeet sitting inside the gazebo
Was sighing, though she shouldn't have known
How to do anything except tweet, tweet, tweet
The gentleman giving the power presentation
Felt the bayonet scar on his shoulder reopen
A warm trickle of blood through his fresh-pressed shirt,
So stop right now, now's the time to let go,
And stop right now, now's the time to break free

How much do you really know you?
