[Verse 1] Has anybody seen Father? He was here ten minutes ago At least I think it was ten Said he was going to the store, he’d be right back That was several years ago Guess he lost track of time Father, that’s literally your one job The hour hand moved twice while nobody was looking Morning’s already threatening to come back Who’s supposed to be watching him? [Pre-Chorus] The clock changed again, I know what it said Half the hour disappeared, nobody saw it leave The clock keeps reminding me what time has lost [Chorus] Somebody go check on Father, it’s past his time Yesterday was right here, now I can’t remember— Somebody go check on Father, he’s wandered off with time Years keep passing through the house like everything is fine [Verse 2] Winter left early, summer stayed late Now they’re switching places Where is Father? The clocks disagree depending on the season Apparently even time changes time I went to sleep at midnight, morning took that personally Another hour missing, another hour gained Father, wherever you are You really should wear a watch And make up your mind [Pre-Chorus] Who’s keeping an eye on Father? Nobody raised a hand He’s got every clock in the house and no plan The clock keeps reminding me what time has lost [Chorus] Somebody go check on Father, it’s past his time Yesterday was right here, now I can’t remember— Somebody go check on Father, he’s wandered off with time Years keep passing through the house like everything is fine [Bridge] Mother’s going to notice, nobody tell her yet Or he’ll lose his hand He used to run right on schedule Now nobody knows how to fix him anymore Last time she got upset, the windows took the worst of it Father, whatever you’re doing, put the morning back Even the walls know what year it is She’s already looking like rain [Break] Wait, what year is it? Never mind, don’t answer that [Final Chorus] Somebody go check on Father, it’s past his time Yesterday was right here, now I can’t remember when The clock keeps reminding me what time has lost Somebody go check on Father He was here a minute ago At least I think it was a minute Father? [Outro] The clock changed again Nobody touch anything
