The **** crows high into the morning sky Harsh songs from my useless alarm can make me die Honks of early morning blue & white buses eat my sleep No time,sleep hasn't been this deep And to myself I solemnly recite You still got plenty of time to do what's right To get dressed, it takes you just a minute And seconds to lace your shoe,I mean it I clutch more tighter to my cold pillow Turning left right as I wallow Gently savouring the bliss of my dream Floating like a piece of paper on stream No pleasure can come this close I wish time froze as I doze Leaving this bed is an Herculean task How does my rest hurt the world, i ask My mama used to quote these lines Make hay while the sun shines And time waits for no man she said He who invented those proverbs must have been dead Dear mum, I beg to disagree It's my world and I'm young and free The clock is just a creation with 24hours 24 isn't enough,we need a clock of ours And I blame that device for my life ills Verily verily, the clock kills I lost a big contract Eye ***** dilate,wrinkles contract Carried over some courses Mr. Clock was the head of the causes I was like Y me?like the end of rhyme Just because I couldn't keep time Those 3 evil hands combine to make me late But since I was born,I'm yet to be late I didn't know the clock from Adam Pardon me if I'm late Oga and Madam As I go on grudgingly living my life Not like a time keeper that makes time his wife I know that keeping time is my nemesis Right from the very genesis

KEEPING TIME
The **** crows high into the morning sky Harsh songs from my useless alarm can make me die Honks of early morning blue & white buses eat my sleep No time,sleep hasn't been this deep And to myself I solemnly recite You still got plenty of time to do what's right To get dressed, it takes you just a minute And seconds to lace your shoe,I mean it I clutch more tighter to my cold pillow Turning left right as I wallow Gently savouring the bliss of my dream Floating like a piece of paper on stream No pleasure can come this close I wish time froze as I doze Leaving this bed is an Herculean task How does my rest hurt the world, i ask My mama used to quote these lines Make hay while the sun shines And time waits for no man she said He who invented those proverbs must have been dead Dear mum, I beg to disagree It's my world and I'm young and free The clock is just a creation with 24hours 24 isn't enough,we need a clock of ours And I blame that device for my life ills Verily verily, the clock kills I lost a big contract Eye ***** dilate,wrinkles contract Carried over some courses Mr. Clock was the head of the causes I was like Y me?like the end of rhyme Just because I couldn't keep time Those 3 evil hands combine to make me late But since I was born,I'm yet to be late I didn't know the clock from Adam Pardon me if I'm late Oga and Madam As I go on grudgingly living my life Not like a time keeper that makes time his wife I know that keeping time is my nemesis Right from the very genesis
