The Ballad of Mr. Clockwise and the Nefarious Soft Spine

As my leather drops down to the earth
Through my brain goes the buzz
My only thought is how I will make it work
I’m hurt because of what it does
I focus too much on the time
And not what is close to me
It never feels right
It’s so much worse than it seems
The clock is starting to tick
And the lips are beginning to talk
All I want to do is walk away
Forget everything that I‘m not
I can never read the dotted lines
Oh, when I lost mine
I’ve got an odd mind
I’m Mister Clockwise
My measure is not in the soft spine
I’ve got a stop sign
Oh, I’ve gone blind
I’m really not fine
I was too soon to explore
And everything that I could see
And I always needed a little bit more
It made my spine begin to leave
All of the «things» that I had
And all of the times that I tried
The departure of my spine is sad
My ego is beginning to die
The clock is starting to tick
And the lips are beginning to talk
All I want to do is walk away
Forget everything that I‘m not
I can never read the dotted lines
Oh, when I lost mine
I’ve got an odd mind
I’m Mister Clockwise
My measure is not in the soft spine
I’ve got a stop sign
Oh, I’ve gone blind
I’m really not fine
When my face develops a glow
And my hands begin to shake
And all I want to do is go
Biding down was a mistake
When I think all those days are behind
I will see that I will ascend
And then the tears run down my spine
But after, it will happen again
The clock is starting to tick
And the lips are beginning to talk
All I want to do is walk away
Forget everything that I‘m not
I can never read the dotted lines
When I lost mine
I’ve got an odd mind
I’m Mister Clockwise
My measure is not in the soft spine
I’ve got a stop sign
Oh, I’ve gone blind
I’m really not fine
I can never read the dotted lines
Oh, when I lost mine
I’ve got an odd mind
I’m really not fine
