Three fifteen AM
I just said my prayers
I put an amen at the end
I don't no why i don't know what it means
Most times i don't even know
Whether or not i'm in the future
I can safely say i don't want to talk about it
Whether or not i'm in the future
I can safely say i don't want to talk about it
I've been on the phone
For twenty four hours now
Speaking to no-one
Cos no-one knows i'm here
I could only find zero photographs of you
Standing beneath the elephant ashtray
Cleaning yourself just like a cat
Saying jah know this and jah knows that
Olphee should'a stuck to poetry
Instead of walking through mirrors
And eEnding up somewhere else
I catch a reflection of myself
I realize i'm no longer an amoeba
I'm that little invisible black baby
Break dancing in quadraphonia
Whether or not i'm in the future
I can safely say i don't want to talk about it
Whether or not i'm in the future
I can safely say i don't want to talk about it
Talk about, talk about...
They move strangely, they're so small
These tiny yellow moths
Dancing in the palms of my hands
If i didn't see them i wouldn't need them
If i didn't need them i wouldn't see them
Neither do i, i say, neither do i, i say, again
It's three fifteen AM
If i didn't see them, I wouldn't need them
If i didn't need them, I wouldn't see them
If i didn't see them, I wouldn't need them
My secret telephone is ringing who would'a know the number
Who would'a know the number
Whether or not i'm in the future
I can safely say i don't want to talk about it
Whether or not i'm in the future
I can safely say i don't want to talk about it
Whether or not i'm in the future
I can safely say i don't want to talk about it
Whether or not i'm in the future
I can safely say i don't want to talk about it
Whether or not i'm in the future
I'm more confused than confucius
But that don't mean that i'm useless
See, i can dance and clap my hands at the same time
In time or out of time
I'm more confused than confucius
But that don't mean that i'm useless
See, i can dance and clap my hands at the same time
In time or out of time
I'm more confused than confucius
But that don't mean that i'm useless
See, i can dance and clap my hands at the same time
In time or out of time
