the clock’s on the ceiling
the band’s on the floor
your senses are reeling
you can’t take anymore
will you find your way home in the broad daylight?
somewhere between sunday or saturday night

it’s a million it’s a million o clock
can’t you see that a new day is dawning?
it’s a million, it’s a million o clock in the morning

on the edge of the circle like a broken old tooth
all your friends will be waiting in the front corner booth
are you uptown or downtown?
nobody can say
better know where you’re going or you might lose your way

it’s a million it’s a million o clock
came on without a warning
it’s a million it’s a million o clock in the morning

the air is hazy but your table is clean
you can be with your baby by the ice machine
and it shines like a diamond if you squint just right
and it’s where you can find me about every other night

it’s a million it’s a million o clock
even the future is yawning
it’s a million it’s a million o clock in the morning

won’t you give me slim harpo at maximum speed
all the lefty frizell that you’re ever gonna need
better turn off that racket on your radio
cuz if kelly don’t like it it ain’t never gonna go

it’s a million it’s a million o clock
they’re hanging six deep from the awning
it’s a million it’s a million o clock in the morning

caroline she’s flying she’s up to no good
and stephanie says we never do like we should
one day this will vanish it will all disappear
but for now we can dance because everybody’s here

it’s a million it’s a million o clock
left us a little bit wanting
it’s a million it’s a million o clock in the morning

would you pick up your head help me close up the bar
we can go to the quarter put your bike in my car
the sun is a coming so we better get lost
go and set the alarm it’s the sign of the cross

it’s a million it’s a million o clock
came on without a warning
it’s a million it’s a million o clock in the morning

it’s a million it’s a million o clock
gotta live with the skin that you’re born in
it’s a million it’s a million o clock in the morning
it’s a million it’s a million o clock in the morning
