Minuteman Lyrics

first the one next to the bed
always runs ahead, but you know it
you thought you could get by
then the one over the stove
started running slow
it's not easy when you're making pie

but i run just fine, ringing your line
tell me the minute and i'll call

i sent a clock to you by post
it looked like you the most, like it was from an Edward Gorey page
but after while it lost it's way
i guess it's fair to say that it's function (after form) this time
but i work just fine, ringing your line
tell me the minute and I'll call
i love you good. God knows I should
when you need waking i will call

maybe I'm no perfect friend
but i'm here till the end
and after that our souls will be friends too
as long as we've got time to tell
if a shadow never fell on the dark side of a dime

i'd run just fine, ringing your line
tell me the minute and i'll call
I love you good. God knows i should
when you need wakin' i will call
