HOURGLASS

by Squeeze



I feel like I'm pounding on a big door

No one can hear me knocking

I feel like I'm falling flat to the floor

No one can catch me from falling

The hourglass has no more grains of sand

My watched has stopped no more turning hands

The crew have abandoned the ship

The lights are on but no one is in



Chorus:

I feel like I'm calling on a telephone

No one can hear the ringing

I feel like I'm running up a steep hill

No one can stop me from running

The hourglass has no more grains of sand

My watched has stopped no more turning hands

The little hand shakes its fist

The face is hanging out on a spring

The hourglass has no more grains of sand

Little red grains of sand

My watched has stopped no more turning hands

Little green neon hands

Feel like I'm calling back to the shore

No one can hear me calling

I feel like I'm falling flat to the floor

No one can catch me from falling
