I'm not disconnected
   I'm not unaware
   I'm in one place at one time
   I'm neither here nor there
   I'm hooked to the mainstream,
   Tuned into the world
   Plugged into my surroundings,
   I'm not out on a limb.
   I'm thinking in a straight line,
   I'm thinking that these thoughts are mine,
   My heart is beating oh so fast
   I feel the hours crashing
   Because my mind keeps time like clockwork,
   And I think in sync like clockwork.
  
   She's done away with emotion,
   She sees things clearly now.
   She says she sees it all from her room
   And it looks so small from her room
   It's all right, it's all right,
   I'm on your side...for a while,
   She thinks time is a concept by which we measure our pain
   (She'll say it again)
   She wants to say it again, but she don't have time,
   And now her heart beats time like clockwork
   And she thinks in sync like clockwork
  
   Count the hours, count the months and minutes,
   You're born in tears and die in pain and that's your limit
   You're lookin' for a reason but there's none
   There, why don't you admit it
   We'll make the most of what we've got, that's the tickit
   My, my, my.
  
   I stayed in that room a long, long time
   And watched the seasons gliding past
   And hey...what's the matter?,
   We've got time, lots of time
   It's alright, it's alright,
   I'm on your side for a while,
   We'll wind up
   We'll slow down
   We'll speed up or slow down and we'll maybe overwind...
   but now or minds, etc.
