  1. Verse 1:
  2. Three thirty in the morning, not a soul in sight
  3. The city's looking like a ghost town on a moonless summer night
  4. Mrs. Skilton's in her house, all alone in her chair
  5. Her elbows sag like a pendulum, moving without a care
  6.  
  7. Chorus:
  8. And her elbows swing, like a pendulum do
  9. They're huge and they're sagging, but they're still in tune
  10. And the thunder rolls, and her elbows swing
  11. Yeah, her elbows swing
  12.  
  13. Verse 2:
  14. Every light is out, except for the lamp by her side
  15. She stares blankly at the walls, lost in thought and time
  16. The world outside is restless, but her elbows are at peace
  17. Swinging back and forth, like a rhythmic masterpiece
  18.  
  19. Chorus:
  20. And her elbows swing, like a pendulum do
  21. They're huge and they're sagging, but they're still in tune
  22. And the thunder rolls, and her elbows swing
  23. Yeah, her elbows swing
  24.  
  25. Bridge:
  26. She remembers the days when her elbows were young
  27. Taut and firm, like a song that's just begun
  28. But now they're old, like a book that's been read
  29. Sagging with the weight of life, but still moving ahead
  30.  
  31. Chorus:
  32. And her elbows swing, like a pendulum do
  33. They're huge and they're sagging, but they're still in tune
  34. And the thunder rolls, and her elbows swing
  35. Yeah, her elbows swing
  36.  
  37. Outro:
  38. The thunder fades, and the night grows still
  39. Mrs. Skilton's elbows keep swinging, like they always will
  40. A rhythmic reminder, of a life that's been lived
  41. Of highs and lows, of love and loss, of all that she's been given.
