Clockwork lyrics

A monster used to chase me

used to jump from the top of my stairs

I used to sit in the rain on the wet leaves

On top of the shed roof (if my mother knew)

The clock on the wall has a good time with my time

The rainstorming brainstorm is on its way

The pale color of the door that`s seen everything before

But just from only one side

No warning, history rears it`s ugly head

(Stepped on it`s tale)

Still running from what I chase

The lesson learned has come so frail

The clock has fallen and the cuckoo`s calling

And the blackbirds congregate and shuffle their wings

I`m on the wire and they call me a liar

But this time I`m going to sing

Big words escapefakerapeescape

Just how I feel

My textureless history I store in a textured bag

(It`s painted real fine)

Your serious laughing, infectious clapping

Still a beat behind



Let`s get to the root of the matter I have no roots

No matter I`ll grow my own

Quitting`s easier time is greasier

Slipping from the metranome

Big words bad time
