lyrics

It sounds like a clock, trying to sing
Escaping its own, tick-tock origins
Chimes with a deep organic yearning
Longs to be gloried, riotous skin
This clock’s envious of all of your limbs
The way that you jive, you groove and you swing
Mantelpiece mambo, nearly within
Reach of a rigid, rotary thing

CLOCKING OFF SIR
DON’T LIVE TO WORK
ONE OBJECTIVE
ONLY WORK TO LIVE

This clock’s kicking off a shimmering spring
Grandfather’s hands and face in a spin
Pendulum powers these hours unhinged
Drunk on a dizzy, deviant din
This clock’s calling all congenial kin
Mute all your morbid metronomin’
And dance to your own peculiar whims
Uproarious time’s about to begin

CHORUS x2
