Hourglass Songtext
von Squeeze

Take it to the bridge
Throw it overboard
See if it can swim
Back to the shore
No one′s in the house
Everyone is out
All the lights are on
The blinds are down

I feel like I'm pounding on a big door
But no one can hear me knocking
I feel like I′m falling flat to the floor
No one can catch me from falling

The hourglass has no more grains of sand
The watch has stopped, no more turning hands
The crew have abandoned ship
The lights are on, but nowhere to stand


Take it to the bridge
Throw it overboard
See if it can swim
Back to the shore
No one's in the house
Everyone is out
All the lights are on
The blinds are down

Take it to the bridge
Throw it overboard
See if it can swim
Back to the shore
No one's in the house

Everyone is out

All the lights are on
The blinds are down

I feel like I′m calling on the telephone
But no one can hear the ringing
I feel like I′m learning endless detail
But no one can stop me from running

The hourglass has no more grains of sand
The watch has stopped, no more turning hands
The little hand shakes in its fist
The face is hanging out on a thread


Take it to the bridge
Throw it overboard
See if it can swim
Back to the shore
No one's in the house
Everyone is out
All the lights are on
The blinds are down

Take it to the bridge
Throw it overboard
See if it can swim
Back to the shore
No one′s in the house
Everyone is out
All the lights are on
The blinds are down

Take it to the bridge
Throw it overboard
See if it can swim
Back to the shore
No one's in the house
Everyone is out
All the lights are on
The blinds are down

Take it to the bridge
Throw it overboard
See if it can swim
Back to the shore
No one′s in the house
Everyone is out
All the lights are on
The blinds are down

The hourglass has no more grains of sand
Little red grains of sand
The watch has stopped, no more turning hands
Little green neon hands

Take it to the bridge
Throw it overboard
See if it can swim
Back to the shore
No one's in the house
Everyone is out
All the lights are on
The blinds are down

Take it to the bridge
Throw it overboard
See if it can swim
Back to the shore
No one′s in the house

Everyone is out

All the lights are on
The blinds are down

I feel like I'm calling back to the shore
But no one can hear me calling
I feel like I'm falling flat to the floor
No one can catch me from falling

Take it to the bridge
Throw it overboard
See if it can swim
Back to the shore
No one′s in the house
Everyone is out
All the lights are on
The blinds are down

Take it to the bridge
Throw it overboard
See if it can swim
Back to the shore
No one′s in the house

Everyone is out

All the lights are on
The blinds are down

Ah
