They Might Be Giants - Four of Two

At four of two I was staring into space
I had to move, there were things I had to do
I wasn't really doing anything
I was standing around and I looked at the clock
And the clock said four of two

I was late, my appointment was at two
With a beautiful girl I had met the night before
I would tell her I was in love with her
But I still hadn't moved and looked up at the clock
And it still said four of two

When I'm late, it makes me feel upset
When I'm upset, I might do something rash
Like stare at the wall and grind my teeth
Which is just what I did, though I really had to leave
And the clock said four of two

At four of two, I had a great idea
To break the chain of inactivity
I put my hands around my neck and started to
Strangle myself, as I looked at the clock
And it still said four of two

At four of two I successfully expired and
My breathing ceased and my heart no longer beat
My eyes stayed open lifelessly
They continued to stare at the clock on the wall
They continued to stare at the clock on the wall
And it still said four of two
