Clockwork Toy

Winding up and winding down

Like a clockwork toy clown

Or a jackhammer ploughing the ground

Drown your sorrows, baby, drown

Headless chicken lost control

Downward spiral takes its toll

Clutching at straws or imaginary goals

I'm gonna make it to the Hollywood Bowl

I can't get enough of the menu, did you get those flowers I sent you?

We're playing in every venue across the land

I'm making friends in every city, getting down to the nitty gritty

Promoting my self pity across the land

Oh my shoes are torn apart

Looking like a tramp with a broken heart

Feeling like a loser who had a false start

Guess all my dreams turned into surrealist art

Never knowing which way I'm going

Keep that bottle of red wine flowing

Dodging debts that I am owing

The world gets smaller but we keep growing

I can't get enough of the menu, did you get those flowers I sent you?

We're playing in every venue across the land

I'm making friends in every city, getting down to the nitty gritty

Promoting my self pity across the land

Heat is rising from the traffic jam

I just wish that I knew who I am

I'm concocting a miraculous plan

To be a man who doesn't give a damn

I can't get enough of the menu, did you get those flowers I sent you?

We're playing in every venue across the land

I'm making friends in every city, getting down to the nitty gritty

Promoting my self pity across the land

I can't get enough of the menu, did you get those flowers I sent you?

I'm playing in every venue across the land

I'm making friends in every city, getting down to the nitty gritty

Promoting my self pity across the land
