lyrics

Fragile gem
Fell asleep at work again
Delicate men
Resting in your arms again

Work your fingers to the bone til a quarter to three
Work your body. Work your body. Work it for me.
I’m a broken timepiece. You’re a grandfather clock
Looking at the sky like you’re ready to pop

Until you break like the thunder

Fragile gem
Working on the line again
Gray turns to black until you’re stagnant with fear
And then you plus me makes a rock in the gear

Sink down down down
In the filthy filthy ground
Until you find the place where the landfill stops
Where the soda cans get replaced with rocks
Sink down down down
In the filthy filthy ground
down down down

After the clock tower broke it was something more than an event to keep the newspapers busy. It was a new set of rules for a group of people who didn’t have to think about time anymore. We realized that the burden of time brought us to a place where we froze everything and the trash filled the streets and everything got cheap.

Dancing in the break room at a quarter to three
I’ve never seen you feel so free
I’m a broken timepiece. You’re a grandfather clock
Looking at the sky like you’re ready to pop

Until you break like the thunder
