Clocks Go Forward

King Crimson · Other Songs - King Crimson

Moving in waves so that

All that you feel

Avoiding the shadows

What they can see

Then the wave starts to break

And the shadows are real

So you reach out to some one

Who holds an idea



They don't say

What you realy need to hear

They don't know

What it is they try to say

They don't play

Oooohhhh, that same old easy song

You don't know

Who is right or who is wrong



Tell me now

Hear us and the answer we find

Tell me now

The answer is no answer at all

Tell me now

Blaming him to see you tonight

Tell me now

Yes i am, i see you again



And your words that invade

Only shathered of dream

That you build with your life

No one takes any pain

People burned you with reasons

You're cought in the plane



They don't say

What you know you need to hear

They don't know

Then you tell them how you feel

They don't play

Oooohhhh, the song that you can't sing



Tell me now

Allways have the answer we found

Tell me now

The answer is no answer at all

Tell me now

Blaming him to see you tonight

Tell me now

Here i am to see you again
