Four Of Two Lyrics - They Might Be Giants

Underneath a big clock at the corner 

of fifth avenue and 22nd street 

I stood and waited 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 was in love with her 

Just as soon as she 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
