I can hear the tick of a clock
Too close to my head
It's giving me a headache
To think of how
Of all the tick-tocks I've ever heard
Only one second counted
Now didn't it
Once long ago
It was like an atom bomb went off in my house
And everybody left
I wish I were a superhero like the X-Men in the comics
'Cause maybe then I could have withstood the blast
But I shattered like an ordinary sheet of glass
And there's not enough superglue in the world
How long...
How long...
How long 'til I feel whole again
How long...
How long...
How long 'til I feel whole again
Well I wish I were just like the T1000 in Terminator 2
'Cause he could melt back together again
Even after Schwarzenegger blew him to bits
Yeah he was mean, but he knew exactly who he was
Oh and incidentally, so did that guy Keyzer Soze in Usual Suspects
But he had to blow his whole family away
How long...
How long...
How long 'til I feel whole again
How long...
How long...
How long 'til I feel whole again
I wish I could lie
I wish I didn't care
I wish I could lie just like that guy, I
Wish I could lie
I wish I didn't care
I wish I could lie just like that guy, I
Wish I could lie
I wish I didn't care
I wish I could lie just like that guy, I
Wish I could lie
I wish I didn't care
I wish I could lie just like that guy
I can hear the tick of that clock, still close to my head
Maybe if I couldn't hear the seconds pass, I wouldn't have to ask...
Oh, how long...
How long...
How long 'til I feel whole again.
How long...
How long...
How long 'til I feel whole again.
How long..........How long
