[Verse 1] Nine little faces staring back All out of time and off the track Hands are spinning left and right Nothing here is set to right Pins go up and pins go down Flip the world and turn it around Front to back they move as one But still the race is never done [Pre-Chorus] Tick and turn Watch them burn Every second that I learn [Chorus] I’m a cuckoo with a clock Lost inside the ticking shock Twelve o’clock is all I see But it’s not where I should be I’m a cuckoo with a clock Turning time I can’t unlock Every move connects the rest Try to fix it make a mess [Verse 2] Four small dials control the flow More than I will ever know Turn one wheel and others move Every choice I must approve Fourteen clocks but one design All must meet in perfect line Front and back in symmetry Locked inside this mystery [Pre-Chorus] Hear it click Feel it shift Every move a fragile gift [Chorus] I’m a cuckoo with a clock Lost inside the ticking shock Twelve o’clock is all I see But it’s not where I should be I’m a cuckoo with a clock Turning time I can’t unlock Every move connects the rest Try to fix it make a mess [Bridge] One point five and it is done Faster than the morning sun All aligned in just one glance Like I never stood a chance Seven moves across both sides Hidden math the mind divides Time itself begins to bend Till it snaps back in the end [Outro] Tick by tick it pulls me in Where does time end or begin All the clocks are set in line Now the moment feels like mine
