She can't tell time, she didn't
Get what she deserved
When faith went blind, she found
The truth but lost her nerve
When she won't act her age
The cat circles round the cage
Youth shrinks to tired rage
Sleep, I can't sleep, she can speak
But she can't tell time
Dream, I can't dream, she can scream
But she can't tell time
She can't tell time
If ears won't listen to her
When faith went blind
I could see light through her
When she won't act her age
The cat circles round the cage
Youth shrinks to tired rage
Her vigils in the street
Left my youth incomplete
Left meaning obsolete
Sleep, I can't sleep, she can leave
But she can't tell time
Dream, I can't dream, she can scream
But she can't tell time
Sleep, I can't sleep, she can speak
But she can't tell time
