Lyrics
Verse
He sits there at the desk
Like he's holding the world on a string
He's only holding hands
He puts them on everything
He holds his breath
Until the pendulum swings
He doesn't talk to people
He only talks to things
He winds the springs
He pulls the pin
He's in his element
He's in his workshop again
He's in his den
He's in his lair
And he stares
As he adjusts the gears
And he just disappears
And he just isn't there
Chorus
And his eyes never see
But they watch everything
And his ears never hear
But they ring
And he has a thousand tongues
But they never sing
He's never seen the sun
He doesn't have a sun
He's the clockwork god
And his heart is a machine
Verse 2
He always gets invited
But he never comes
He hasn't missed anything
He hasn't been outside in a year
He hasn't missed anyone
He's always been there
He can't get rid of them
They're everywhere
The old ones
The young ones
He only loves one
He only loves the clock on the wall
He's their father
He's their mother
He's the lover of them all
Chorus
And his eyes never see
But they watch everything
And his ears never hear
But they ring
And he has a thousand tongues
But they never sing
He's never seen the sun
He doesn't have a sun
He's the clockwork god
And his heart is a machine
