Lyrics
Grasshopper Clock
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Ants in the sugar bowl are something to behold
Shining in the silverware like little specks of gold
Milling through the sweetness like bees in honeycomb
You'll put it in your tea when we can bring some money home
Pendulum swings, energy's unlocked
Counting down the seconds like a grasshopper clock
Down by the river where the water meets the dock
We're rowing in the rhythm of the grasshopper clock
When I see a lovely flower I can't help but pick it
When you look to me for answers all you get is crickets
Stone on stone, brick upon the block
Munching up the minutes like the grasshopper clock
Wings take flight, people take a walk
And end up all together at the grasshopper clock
I saw the sky today, the colors made me feel so lowly
I saw the world outside my window below, turning slowly
When I see a perfect surface then I'll want to nick it
When you ask me for solutions all I'll give is crickets
Heartbeats start like small electric shocks
Going through the motions like a grasshopper clock
Round I go and on your door I'll knock
Saying meet me in an hour at the grasshopper clock
The world passeth away and lust thereof will vanish with it
They'll say it's for the best but I will miss it, oh, I'll miss it
When I find a puddle then I'll always want to kick it
When I try out new ideas all I get it is crickets
