4 Of 2 Lyrics - They Might Be Giants

Underneath a big clock 

At the corner of 5th 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
