Вступление
[Verse]
She’s got a four leaf clover
on a cigarette in her mouth
and time is ticking out
her luck is running out
she’s got his promise ring
in the bottom of her bedside drawer
and she still wants him more
sprawled out on the floor
and tears are running down her
[Pre-Chorus]
face the fact that it’s never gonna work out
momma says he’s not up to snuff
she looks up and asks god if
he’ll give them a chance
but he never does
[Chorus]
and it acts like clockwork
the midnight heartache’s right on time
and it acts like clockwork
the regular breakdown’s half past nine
and you tell them that you’re fine
[Verse]
he’s got a chip on his shoulder
and he can’t hold down his pride
but he’s still sick inside
tired of fighting this battle
every day and every
[Pre-Chorus]
night after night he stays up and stays out
Daddy says he’s not good enough
and he looks up and asks god if
he’ll give them a chance
but he never does
[Chorus]
and it acts like clockwork
the midnight heartache’s right on time
and it acts like clockwork
the regular breakdown’s half past nine
and you tell them that you’re fine
[Bridge]
So you find every clock in town
and break them all
collect the ones off bedside tables
and rip them off the wall
smash them into pieces
piled on the street
until time stops ticking
[Chorus/Outro]
and it acts like clockwork
the midnight heartache’s right on time
and it acts like clockwork
the regular breakdown’s half past nine
and you tell them that you’re fine
and it acts like clockwork
the mightnight heartache's right on time
just like clockwork
the regular breakdowns half past nine
and you tell them that you’re fine
and you tell them that you’re fine
and you tell them that your fine
