Lyrics

[Verse 1] Ah, the blue of the night The creed of the reading stream Blankets, pillows, curtains [Verse 2] Ah, the poor wedded girl Her uniform burning and burning (The clock) The clock is on fire [Refrain] The clock is on fire Fire [Verse 3] Ah, washes her hair The sink is a link to the sea that's free Suds are soapy, suds sing soft [Refrain] The clock is on fire [Verse 4] Ah, dreaming matter The face is a close-up, a close-up memory Letters with feelings [Refrain] Ah, the clock is on fire Clock is on fire [Verse 5] Ah, the filament burns The table is laid with a [?] gone He enters holding the wanting (The clock is on [?]) [Refrain] Ah, the clock is on fire
