For though everything had changed, there was still that clock
So in case she were coming I would have a better view
There were flying cars and gigantic metal bugs
And it still said four of two
She was not yet late, according to the clock
Just as soon as she showed for a two o'clock date
I stood and waited for a girl I knew
And the clock said four of two
But I felt reassured when I looked at the clock
It was four minutes of two
At four of two, I was staring into space
It seemed as if the sky was growing dark
At the clock sticking out of the side of the building
I was four minutes early for the date we had planned
I was planning to say I was in love with her
It was four minutes of two
At four of two, I stood waiting for the girl
At four of two, I began to feel tired
I lay my head down on the sidewalk
And closed my eyes for a second or two
At the spot where we agreed to meet
And it still said four of two
I'd grown a beard, it was long and white
At once I awoke to a futuristic world
I was feeling nervous so I kept looking up
But no one was there so I stretched out
But I knew that the girl would be coming very soon
And I rubbed my eyes, and again I checked the time
