This is the clock upon the wall This is the story of us all This is the first sound of a newborn child, Before he starts to crawl This is the war that's never won This is a soldier and his gun This is the mother waiting by the phone, Praying for her son Pictures of you, pictures of me Hung upon your wall for the world to see Pictures of you, pictures of me Remind us all of what we used to be There is a drug that cures it all Blocked by the governmental wall We are the scientists inside the lab, Just waiting for the call This earthquake weather has got me shaking inside I'm high up and dry Confess to me, every secret moment Every stolen promise you believed Confess to me, all that lies between us All that lies between you and me We are the boxers in the ring We are the bells that never sing There is a title we can't win no matter How hard we might swing"
