"Without Someone"

I listened to Balance of Power yester-day and noticed a small feature in "Without Someone."  The line "It hardly moves at all" (referring to "the clock staring from the wall" from the previous line) is sung to a paucity of pitches, just A Bb and C.  The musical phrase is limited, and this gives a sense of that "hardly mov[ing]."
