8 o'clock,
time to rise and shine,
time to show the world another fake smile.
He's made of porcelain,
easy to break,
easy to mislead.
He has a porcelain heart.
12 o'clock,
time to eat their smiles,
time to show everything's alright.
He's made of porcelain,
tends to suffer,
tends to be imprisoned.
He has a porcelain smile.
4 o'clock,
time to show them,
time to wish they only knew.
He's made of porcelain,
has died before,
has and will again.
He will always be porcelain.
8 o'clock,
time to sleep,
time to dream the world better.
