Like Clockwork Lyrics by Plastic Poetry

Post-Romantic Collections, Vol. 1

0

[Verse 1]
They sit and they wait
As if it'll make them levitate
But the truth is there's no answer
Oh the truth is there's no answer

In the governor's wake
The foul stench of coporate stakes
And although it's getting louder
I feel nothing's quite worth hearing

An articulate machine
Works to a hellish rhythm
And you can kick you can scream
You're just another mechanism

And some revel in greed
Whilst some are expelled from the system
It's on their knees that they plead
Just make sure that you can't hear 'em

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Time never flies in this town
It trickles down the gutter
It slithers down these slimy streets
Amidst boredom and nostalgia

People fooling around
Thinking about their futures
Come spend your lives underground
Let's go wallow in the sewers

[Bridge]
It's better to believe in
Ordinary life as paths unwind
I can't remember dreaming
The ticking of the clocks has left behind
The bulk of my ambitions
Lost inside the mist of urban climes
And meanwhile the tolbooth chimes
Meanwhile the tolbooth chimes

[Verse 3]
The flashing of the traffic lights
The soothing of those blurry nights
To get you through the day
Oblivious and grateful

These streets that you follow
As everything clicks into place
Your prospects are hollow
When dictated by suburban pace
