Telescope

Lyrics

Can't place attachment to such a contraption At such an early hour In such a desperate state Won't rest on promises, or guarantees, or contracts That don't lend any power or influence to fate This device may make the vulnerable visible And the complex simple Blast delusions of grandeur out of the sky But the result is asleep on the floor With a bottle of wine And I, and I, and I Thinks he's probably not as clever as he thinks he is 5pm, a bright idea, sitting on the fence like a schoolboy waiting For his father to come home Sitting on that plane, getting cheated out of Thursday All because of laws about time and space Across the aisle, his tie wrapped around his neck Arms wrapped 'round a briefcase Like it's something or someone more important In all the excitement, you can see the comet from here You can see anything you wanna see Magnified five hundred times I only wanna see you But there's a comet blocking my view No, we're probably not as clever as we think we are 5pm, a bright idea, sitting on the fence like a schoolboy waiting For his father to come home He must have fallen asleep on the train Must have missed his stop I know you, and you know me But I've got a telescope now, and it's all that I need It's all that I need It's all that I need You're all that I need All that I need (5pm, a bright idea, sitting on the fence like a schoolboy waiting) For his father to come home He must have fallen asleep on the train Must have missed his stop I know you, and you know me But I've got a telescope now, and it's all that I need It's all that I need I can see I can see I can see...
