Lyric discussion by Malkavian 

Cover art for Hovering Sombrero lyrics by They Might Be Giants

I heard this song and the bit about

Time is flying like an arrow and the clock hands move so fast they make the wind blow and it makes the pages of the calendar go flying out the window one by one

Till a hundred years are on the front lawn and the old familiar things are mostly all gone but the old sombrero just keeps hovering on hovering sombrero hover on

I could never understand why, but in four years, that has never left my memory. Fun fact: 50% of amercans believe in UFO's, aliens, intelligent life on other planets; therefore statistically one of the Jhons believes. This could very well be about UFOs &c.
