They Might Be Giants - 4 of 2 lyrics

At four of two I was staring into space

I had to move there were things I had to do

I wasn't really doing anything

I was standing around

And I looked at the clock

And the clock said four of two

I was late

My appointment was at two

With a beautiful girl I had met the night before

I would tell her I was in love with her

But I still hadn't moved

And I looked at the clock

And it still said four of two

When I'm late it makes me feel upset

When I'm upset I might do something rash

Like stare at the wall and grind my teeth

Which is just what I did

Though I really had to leave

And the clock said four of two

At four of two I had a great idea

To break the chain of inactivity

I put my hands around my neck and started

To strangle myself

And I looked at the clock

And it still said four of two

At four of two I successfully expired

And my breathing ceased and my heart no longer beat

my eyes stayed open lifelessly

They continued to stare at the clock on the wall

They continued to stare at the clock on the wall

And it still said four of two
