Ampersands (4:40)

I got a brand new watch
Simple, avant-garde
I got it with my Amazon gift card

I got a brand new watch
Tells me when it’s now
I trust and the signals show me how

I got a brand new watch
Every glance it is today
Teaches me there is no other way

Sweeping second hand
Silver with a leather band
Connect to the fantastic
Dancing with the ampersands

I got a brand new watch
Now I’m in a clockwise play
No language but still so much to say

I got a brand new watch
And I feel I’m in my prime
All the while the world’s just keeping time

Sweeping second hand
Silver with a leather band
Connect to the fantastic
Dancing with the ampersands

And while she’s on her side
It’s like the flag of a brand new world or something
And now she’s hitting stride
It’s like the flag of a brand new world
I paid for it with my old life

Sweeping second hand
Silver with a leather band
Connect to the fantastic
Dancing with the ampersands

Sweeping second hand
Silver with a leather band
Connect to the fantastic
Dancing with the ampersands

Song Notes

William hired a translator so he could sing a version of Ampersands in Greek. The accent was way too tough. While this Greek version was never recorded, the translations are available in the “Rough Draft” section of this entry.
