Unlike the mole
I'm not in a hole
And I can't see anyway
Just like a doll
I am one foot tall
But dolls can't see anyway
The frozen stare
The clothes and hair
These make me taste like a man
Tied to a door
Chained to a floor
An hour glass grain of sand
Life in a sack is coming back
I'm like the clock on the wall
Swim in the sea
Swim inside me
But you can't swim far away
I never grew
Covered up by you
And nothing grows anyway
Life in a sack is coming back
I'm like the clock on the wall
I'm not in a hole
And I can't see anyway
Just like a doll
I am one foot tall
But dolls can't see anyway
The frozen stare
The clothes and hair
These make me taste like a man
Tied to a door
Chained to a floor
An hour glass grain of sand
Life in a sack is coming back
I'm like the clock on the wall
Swim in the sea
Swim inside me
But you can't swim far away
I never grew
Covered up by you
And nothing grows anyway
Life in a sack is coming back
I'm like the clock on the wall

The whole text is about his dick really...Allthough the "on the wall" part is still hard to understand..
Jesus and Mary Chain rules
also, I've always heard the last line as being: "Unlike the clock on the wall." which makes more sense. considering he seems to be declaring his independence after leaving home and school behind.
They're both good for different reasons.
Man are these two hung up on the worst possible kinds of relationships, or what?
A great song, really.
Love the line "I'm like the clock on the wall".
