i stand alone and watch the clock
i only wait for it to stop
and in the room locked up inside me
the cutout magazines remind me
i sit and wait alone in my room

and in my room against the wall
there is picture very small
a photograph i took some years ago
it shows a picture of the room i know
i sit and wait alone in my room

chorus
the walls are white and in the night
the room is lit by electric light

i stand and watch the clock
i only wait for it to stop
the doors are shut and all the windows lock
the only sound is from the clock
i sit and wait alone in my room

repeat chorus
