Pram – Clock Without Hands Lyrics

Once there was a man who slept for all his life
Everything he did seemed set, date and time
Once there was a man who wept on discovering
A life of sleepwalking had made him forget
All of his dreams

There's an endless web
That binds us together
Strings soft as a featherbed
Tying us down

A clockwork life is filled with few incidents
And none of them caused him much surprise
The road from A to B was always the same it seemed
It offered him some kind of comfort
Like a rope around the throat

There's an endless web
That binds us together
Strings soft as the touch of snow
Tying us down

Once there was a man who slept for all his life
Everything he did seemed set, date and time
Once there was a man who wept on discovering
A life of sleepwalking had made him forget
All of his dreams
