They Might Be Giants - Four Of Two Lyrics
Underneath a big clock at the corner of 5th Avenue and 22nd StreetI stood and waiting for a girl I knew at the spot where we agreed to meetIt was four minutes of twoAt four of two, I stood waiting for the girlI was four minutes early for the date we had plannedI was planning to say I was in love with herJust as soon as she showed for a two o'clock dateAnd the clock said four of twoAt four of two, I was staring into spaceShe was not yet late, according to the clockI was feeling nervous so I kept looking upAt the clock sticking out of the side of the buildingAnd it still said four of twoAt four of two, I began to feel tiredAnd I rubbed my eyes, and again I checked the timeIt seemed as if the sky was growing dark...But I felt reassured when I looked at the clockAnd it still said four of twoI lay my head down on the sidewalk so in case she were coming I would have a better viewBut no one was there so I stretched out and closed my eyes for a second or twoIt was four minutes of twoAt once I awoke to a futuristic worldThere were flying cars and gigantic metal bugsI'd grown a beard; it was long and whiteBut I knew that the girl would be coming very soonFor though everything had changed, there was still that clockAnd it still said four of two
