Cheap Watch

Wound up tighter than a cheap watch
Wind it up and watch how the time flies
Little white teeth wound around what sounds like more cheap lies
Little black clouds suck us up into the sky
Wound up where the Christmas lights stay up all year
And it takes the barman half an hour just to get me another beer
Was it just for kicks or was it in and out of fear
One step closer, two stepping posers get a little kings lear
One foot on the gas, two feet from Tennessee
L ittle hand on the twelve-gauge and the big hand swinging free
Well, I made you look but I could not make you see
Look down at your shoes 'cause the tie that binds was untied by me
Rebel rouser and the e-string is my last nerve
Ringing out like a stabbing pain
It’s the last call, and I’m calling on
Something that they don’t serve
Like a double shot of that ball and chain
Spoonful of absence makes my heart grow fonder
Spoonful of absinthe makes my mind to wander
Spoonful of sugar down at the candy store
I got a string around your sweet tooth, baby
And I’m getting up to slam the door
Wound up tighter than a cheap watch
Wind it up and watch how the time flies
Little white teeth wound around what sounds like more cheap lies
Little black clouds suck us up into the skies
Little black clouds suck us up into the skies
