I came down here just to waste some time
To get a little rest and to ease my mind
I didn't calculate it when I walked in the door
I only thought I'd stay for a minute or more
First I saw the lights on the ceiling dim
The stale perfume, yeah, and the beer can tins
My first impression was to get outside
But then I saw you crying, crying by the fireside
The pendulum swings, going to and fro
And the clock goes round, says it's time to go
And the clock goes round, and the hours fly past
Slow down pendulum, you're moving much too fast
Now it's gone kind of quiet but I seem to see
That the only people here in the room are you and me
But I don't mind girl, girl that's all right
As long as you're gonna be with me, gonna be with me all night
The pendulum swings, going to and fro
And the clock goes round, says it's time to go
And the clock goes round, and the hours fly past
Slow down pendulum, you're moving much too fast
The pendulum swings, going to and fro
And the clock goes round, says it's time to go
And the clock goes round, and the hours fly past
