All the clocks are watching us ticktock
Down into the city
Watching pretty lights along the water
With our sun dresses and straw hats
Rafts of sunshine floating on the creamy rim
As we listen to the hourly hymns
Like a million chimes
Like a zillion dimes falling
Into a lake blistered with floating babies
Warm and silky upon the surface of my mind
And all the world will try to coat our tongues with milky reason
And soon the seasons won't change
They'll just all stay the same
A streaky stain along the sky taped to my window
