Lyrics :
Tick tock, tick tock, Time’s right on the clock
The skull now speaks, wine drinks itself
Each shade’s the same, a mechanical frame
I’m a painted puppet in a dull masquerade
Painted puppets, on parade, faint and quaint
Frenetic and frantic,
Words like pearls on a string
Mesmerizing music
Near eerie ears
We’re gasping for logic
Yet the more we repeat
The less it all makes sense.
Come, come, stay calm, stay calm
No need for alarm
It only hums, it doesn’t harm
I wish to wish, dream to dream,
Live to live, die to die,
Cry to cry, I don’t know why
Breathe idle riddles and rhymes
Ideal idols are made to prophesize
In the house of the Sphinx, language comes alive
Twisted round
Babel’s fall broke and confused but
New rhythms thrive and profuse
Come, come, stay calm, stay calm
No need for alarm
It only hums, it doesn’t harm
I wish to wish, dream to dream,
Live to live, die to die,
Cry to cry, but I don’t know why
Come, calm, hum, harm, dream, die, WHY
