You call me at twelve o'clock
And I’m always here to listen
I’m always there to give you comfort
But now, I’m about to go missin
Will you still know I care for you
When I can’t call you back?
Wake me up at twelve o'clock
I know you have reason to cry
But it left me in a shock
I hardly see this side of you
I thought it was under lock
Suppose it was all a ruse
Instantly I fully awoke
tock continues to tick and takes this train
hostage; loops, speeds, nearly tips
the conductor hangs with one hand
Gripping the footplate for dear life,
They say to "social distance"
But that doesn't mean you have to stop socializing
They say to stay at home
But you can still videochat, you know
Six million Americans unemployed
