Underneath A Big Clock At The Corner Of 5th Avenue And 22nd Street
I Stood In Waiting For A Girl I Knew At The Spot Where We Agreed To Meet
It Was Four Minutes Of Two
At Four Of Two, I Stood Waiting For The Girl
I Was Four Minutes Early For The Date We Had Planned
I Was Planning To Say I Was In Love With Her
Just As Soon As Ashleigh Showed For A Two O'clock Date
And The Clock Said Four Of Two
At Four Of Two, I Was Staring Into Space
She Was Not Yet Late, According To The Clock
I Was Feeling Nervous So I Kept Looking Up
At The Clock Sticking Out Of The Side Of The Building
And It Still Said Four Of Two
At Four Of Two, I Began To Feel Tired
And I Rubbed My Eyes, And Again I Checked The Time
It Seemed As If The Sky Was Growing Dark...
But I Felt Reassured When I Looked At The Clock
And It Still Said Four Of Two
I Lay My Head Down On The Sidewalk So In Case She Were Coming I Would Have A Better View
But No One Was There So I Stretched Out And Closed My Eyes For A Second Or Two
It Was Four Minutes Of Two
At Once I Awoke To A Futuristic World
There Were Flying Cars And Gigantic Metal Bugs
I'd Grown A Beard; It Was Long And White
But I Knew That The Girl Would Be Coming Very Soon
For Though Everything Had Changed, There Was Still That Clock
And It Still Said Four Of Two
