Five o'clock, fade away the shadows
Leaving by the window or the door
And they're laughing
Laughing at you anyway
They're laughing
Laughing at you every day
I understood before I knew
I realized everything that was holding you
Laughing...
Six o'clock, walking in the lamplight
Slow poison from the tiny little wound
And they're laughing
Laughing at you anyway
And they're laughing
Laughing at you every day
Once, I saw what I'd become
a useless garment that wouldn't suit anyone
I understood before I knew
I realized I'd spend my life coming back to you
Laughing at you
Laughing at you
Eight o'clock, in the building of the mirrors
Recoil from my elongated twin
And he's laughing
He's laughing at me anyway
Yeah he's laughing
Laughing at me every day
Then, I thought the whole thing out
Crystallized by my hopes and by your doubts
Laughing, laughing, laughing, laughing
Twelve o'clock, and the perfect ending
Love potion sure gave me strange dreams
And I'm laughing
Laughing at you anyway
And you're laughing
Laughing at me every day
I understood before I knew
I realized I'd spend my life coming back to you
