A melancholy steampunk mini-opera musing on the daily grind. Sad yet happy. Escape into dreams.
LYRICS:
In the house of upside down,
Cellar's top floor, attic's ground,
In the house of upside down,
Laughing cries and smiles frown,
In the house of upside down,
Found is lost and lost is found,
I am metal and so cold,
Once was young but now so old,
Every tear just makes me rust,
A man-machine just gathering dust,
I am clockwork,
Mechanical,
Set your watches,
By my routine,
I go to work,
For salary,
But no one's watching,
When I dream,
I escape this clockwork,
By dreaming my reality,
I ask you, don't pity me,
The cogs turn,
I never learn,
One day, I'll run down,
On that day, I'll be found,
Til that day, keep ticking,
Along to this song,
Every day just feels the same,
I feel no love and no pain,
In my home there's no one there,
Two blank faces simply stare,
I am,
A clockwork man,
I am clockwork,
Mechanical,
Set your watches,
By my routine,
I go to work,
For salary,
But no one's watching,
When I dream,
I escape this clockwork,
By dreaming my reality,
I ask you, don't pity me,
The cogs turn,
I never learn,
Every day I do the same,
It drives me slowly insane,
Lost for a reason, I've forgotten,
Why I do this, now I'm rotten,
It might be funny if it weren't quite so tragic,
I got my money, but my world has no magic,
Keep ticking, keep ticking,
Day in, day out, inside out.
I don't quite see the point in all this,
It's no match for a loving kiss,
Wind us up and off we go,
Final destination unknown,
Keep ticking, keep ticking,
Day in, day out, inside out.
I don't quite see the point in all this,
It's no match for a loving kiss,
Wind us up and off we go,
Final destination unknown,
