Clockwork Man Lyrics by Mr. Strange

WTF?! (The Best of Mr. Strange)

2013

[Intro]
"In the house of upside down
Cellar's top floor, attic's ground
In the house of upside down
Laughing cries and smiles frown
In the house of upside down
Found is lost and lost is found"

[Verse 1]
I am metal and so cold
Once was young but now so old
Every tear just makes me rust
A man-machine just gathering dust

(Tick-Tock)

[Chorus]
I am clockwork
Mechanical
Set your watches
By my routine
I go to work
For salary
But no one's watching
When I dream

[Post-Chorus]
I escape this clockwork
By dreaming my reality
I ask you, don't pity me
The cogs turn
I never learn

[Verse 2]
One day, I'll run down
On that day, I'll be found
Til that day, keep ticking
Along to this song

[Verse 3]
Every day just feels the same
I feel no love and no pain
In my home, there's no one there
Two blank faces simply stare

I am a clockwork man

(Tick-Tock)
(Tick-Tock)
(Tick-Tock)
(Tick-Tock)

[Chorus]
I am clockwork
Mechanical
Set your watches
By my routine
I go to work
For salary
But no one's watching
When I dream

[Post-Chorus]
I escape this clockwork
By dreaming my reality
I ask you, don't pity me
The cogs turn
I never learn

[Verse 4]
Every day I do the same
It drives me slowly insane
Lost for a reason, I've forgotten
Why I do this, now I'm rotten

[Verse 5]
It might be funny if it weren't quite so tragic
I got my money, but my world has no magic

[Bridge 2x]
Keep ticking, keep ticking
Day in, day out, inside out

[Verse 6]
I don't quite see the point in all this
It's no match for a loving kiss
Wind us up and off we go
Final destination is unknown

[Bridge 2x]
Keep ticking, keep ticking
Day in, day out, inside out

[Verse 6]
I don't quite see the point in all this
It's no match for a loving kiss
Wind us up and off we go
Final destination is unknown
