I can hear the tick of a clock

Too close to my head

It's giving me a headache

To think of how

Of all the tick-tocks I've ever heard

Only one second counted

Now didn't it

Once long ago



It was like an atom bomb went off in my house

And everybody left

I wish I were a superhero like the X-Men in the comics

'Cause maybe then I could have withstood the blast

But I shattered like an ordinary sheet of glass

And there's not enough superglue in the world



How long...

How long...

How long 'til I feel whole again



How long...

How long...

How long 'til I feel whole again



Well I wish I were just like the T1000 in Terminator 2

'Cause he could melt back together again

Even after Schwarzenegger blew him to bits

Yeah he was mean, but he knew exactly who he was

Oh and incidentally, so did that guy Keyzer Soze in Usual Suspects

But he had to blow his whole family away



How long...

How long...

How long 'til I feel whole again



How long...

How long...

How long 'til I feel whole again



I wish I could lie

I wish I didn't care

I wish I could lie just like that guy, I

Wish I could lie

I wish I didn't care

I wish I could lie just like that guy, I

Wish I could lie

I wish I didn't care

I wish I could lie just like that guy, I

Wish I could lie

I wish I didn't care

I wish I could lie just like that guy



I can hear the tick of that clock, still close to my head

Maybe if I couldn't hear the seconds pass, I wouldn't have to ask...



Oh, how long...

How long...

How long 'til I feel whole again.



How long...

How long...

How long 'til I feel whole again.



How long..........How long
