Analysis of Broken Clock
Oh clock-stuck motionless in time
You're one job you fail to complete
Hands always stuck at nine
But a solution you will soon meet
You will be moving
Turning and Ticking
For you, I will have to remind
Now your grooving
Your hand isn't sticking
For now on, i'll be looking at you all the time
