Watchmaker stops
Looks up to the clock
ItÂs always been off
His work is all wrong
He steps out the back door
Down to the factory floor
To watch her do her chores
The one that he adores
Gather up the newspapers
And put them on the fire
Winter time stings
Of life & things
That pass before your eyes
Before your eyes
YouÂre on the street
YouÂre turning tricks
ItÂs spring time training for greedy pricks
YouÂre spinning webs
That have been spun
YouÂre making room for everyone
YouÂre driving car
YouÂre moving house
YouÂre country Man
YouÂre city Mouse
You view the sunsets from the rooftops
You make the bets you call the shots
The Holy Grail
The Steak & Stein
A taste of death
A sip of wine
Ignore that itch, itÂs just your mind
Slipping through the sands of time
And standing on the welcome mat
At the office of the upper class
The doorknob said ÂDonÂt touch unless
YouÂve got the will to break their backsÂ
The backs that broke to make the mats
The lies they told to create the facts
The sweaty-handshake shady pacts
If they donÂt know they canÂt react.
Gather up the newspapers
And put them on the fire
Winter time stings
Of life & things
That pass before your eyes
Before your eyes
