Lyrics

He's there, in case I want it all
He's scared, 'cause I want
He's scared, in case I want it all
He's scared, 'cause I want

All in all the clock is slow
Six color pictures all in a row
Of a marigold

He's there, in case I want it all
He's scared, 'cause I want
He's there, in case I want it all
He's scared, 'cause I want

All in all the clock is slow
Six color pictures all in a row
Of a marigold

He's there, in case I want it all
He's scared, 'cause I want
He's there, in case I want it all
He's there, 'cause I want

All in all the clock is slow
Six color pictures all in a row
Of a marigold
