[Verse 1] Silver spoons and crooked wire Sparks that jump the kitchen fire You were counting out the change Everything is rearranged One, two, three steps on the rug Tangled in a heavy plug Fingers twitching on the wood Doing what we never should [Chorus] Oh, the gears are turning fast! Hold the anchor, break the mast! Riddles in a wooden cup Spinning till the sun comes up With a skip and a double-beat Shuffling our dusty feet [Verse 2] Fretless strings begin to bend Every corner is a bend Pounding on the ivory keys Falling down on bended knees Brushed brass and a sudden slap Caught inside a velvet trap Keep the tempo, hold your breath Dancing this design to death [Outro] Skittering, skittering, down the line Your hand in mine Out of time [Fade Out]
