lyrics

There’s a ticking clock in the middle of the moon
And the mainspring speaks and the minute hand sings
In a hundred tongues and a thousand keys
For a million little people in the deep blue sea
Been a real long time on a rock, marooned
Does it ever add up
Charlie’s checking the receipts…
Probably not
Maybe, we’ll see..

This world is frozen in twilight
And it doesn’t feel right
This watch is broken I swear
Do you believe me this time

There’s a trampoline in the middle of sun
And we jump to the rhythm of the bees and bugs
Somebody opened up a shoe store there
So we can walk it right back into the barrel of a gun
See the prism grow grass that can live in the cracks
And the rhythm is a favor that you never pay back
Yeah
Into the blue...
See you real soon

The world is frozen in twilight
And it doesn’t feel right
This watch is broken I swear
Do you believe me this time

So here we are waiting
Forgotten, remaindered
A memory buried in bone
From mirror to mirror
A seashell in a shadow
Is begging me, calling me home...
But I am home

The world is frozen in twilight
And I know it’s not right
This watch is broken, I’m scared
That I’m losing my mind
This watch is broken, my friend
Will you believe me this time?
