regina spektor - The Clocks Were Asleep (Live)

Lyrics:

The clocks were asleep and asleeps how we found them
We found them and wound them again
But they didnt last us till morning and warning
That you never should force mechanical things
They are not meant for hardship, theyll snap
if you tighten and wind them and pry them and try
just stop right now, nows the time to let go
and stop right now, nows the time to break free

The parakeet sitting inside the gazebo
was sighing, though she shouldnt have know how
to do anything except tweet tweet tweet
the gentleman giving the power presentation
felt the bayonet scar on his shoulder reopen
a warm trickle of blood through his fresh-pressed shirt
so stop right now, nows the time to let go
and stop right now, nows the time to break free

How much do you really know you?

Why does this somehow remind me of a painting?

Regina never seizes to amaze me.

Regina is a unique artist and not everyone understands real art.

Regina Spektor is a the deepest poet, the loveliest pianist, the most beautiful vocalist, and she never ceases to blow my mind.
