I bought a cheap watch from a crazy man
Floating down canal
It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says now
Now you may be thinking that I was had
But this watch is never wrong
And If I have trouble the warranty said
Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On

Maybe a tits logo should be the starting point for all the new 'unique and timeless ' designs of upcoming micros. That way at least may be something to like...
