Clock On The Wall - The Guess Who

The clock on the wall says twelve noon

Guess I’d better get up soon

The clock on the wall says twenty-to-one

And there’s things to be done

Yeah, the clock on the wall keeps pushing me

That’s not the way I want my life to be

If you take any pushing from that clock on the wall

You won’t be happy at all

The clock on the wall says a quarter-to-three

I got people to see

Meet my friend Clive, start drinking by five

End up wishing I weren’t alive

I look at the clock, it says twenty-to-nine

I got to meet my girl on time

She puts me down and then, by twenty-to-ten

I’m out drinking again

The clock on the wall strikes the midnight hour

I’m feeling dirty and sour

I feel the clock pushing like the blade of a knife

I want to end my life

But it ain’t no use, I’m used to this abuse

This is my moment of truth

Life is empty, my friends are all gone

But like the clock on the wall, I’ll go on and on and on

It’s watching me every day, the hours and minutes tick away

I’m not getting any younger, it keeps on and on and on

I can’t stand it, it never stops for anything

The clock just keeps moving, ticking

My life is going, the clock is moving
