Slow Down

Look at the time, upon the wall
 The clock is tellin' it all wrong
 You've got to slow down
 You've got to slow down
 Slow it right off the wall
 You've got to slow down
 My hat is bent
 Oh, I got a bent hat
 Maybe I'll slow down
 And straighten it out
 And then twist it all around
 Then put it down
 And I'm bobblin' down 124th street
 And I think I'm bobblin' to a brighter day
 And the radio's playing a different kind of music
 And the universe is starting to shake
 Look at the time, it's 12:30
 I'm going to hell, and I'm late for it
 But I'll slow down
 And talk about it
 And the world goes round and then comes back down

 Now I'm swingin' about my every daily business
 And I'm ponderin' out about how it's daily been
 And it's easy to feel if you're useless
 But it's strange when you tell your friends
 So I re-loaded my fax machine with some fresh clean paper
 So I can slow down and have a slow time printing it out
 Then the roof blew off again and it came back down
 And the hurricanes and storms cover the landscape
 And the picture frames are floating off the wall
 And the hourglass is twisting a little bit sideways
 And the neighbourhood is all gone
 Look at the time, on the wall
 'Cause it's going very, very, really slowly now
 And it's the only thing that anybody ever talks about
 And the scientists are always trying to figure out
 And the physicists are always letting it bounce around

 And the novelists are typically writing stories about it
 And the journalists are usually breaking news about it
 And the pharmacists are frequently making drugs about it
 And the charities are always raising money for it
 And the client's name is always there
 And the client's name always cares
