Four of Two

Four Of Two - They Might Be Giants
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 would kiss her on the lips
Just as soon as lorna 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
