Clockwork Toy

A clockwork toy

A broken boy

Goes through the flaming hoop

A trapeze artist

Suspended in the air

And they're going, they're leaving the game slowly

Let the clock start turning in earnest

They're going, they're leaving the game slowly

Let clockwork toys fulfill their potential

An elephant

Will move his trunk

If you'd only wind him up

For his audience

Who can't get up to it

Oh no no

Well, now they're going, they're leaving the game slowly

Let the clock start turning in earnest

They're going, they're leaving the game slowly

Let clockwork toys fulfill their potential

How many years

Will cure, cure the fears

Of the frozen worker?

And they're going, they're leaving the game slowly

Let the clock start turning in earnest

They're going, they're leaving the game slowly

Let clockwork toys fulfill their potential

This drummer boy plays with rattlin' teeth

The carousel spins for its tiny kids

A ballet dancer entertains a clown

And the stilt walker who won't sit down

With the other clockwork toys
