Track Insight / Lyrics
Pop of the collar, woolen coat tight
Over the shoulder, a watchful light
Second hand in time, love stories end
In the rainwater shadows of a city's descent
The hands slip backward, but memories remain
In the drumbeat tempo of a pulse in vain
Counting down, loneliest local ride
Destinations fading from basement hideaways
Neon signs flicker out, disconnected calls
The only way to go is to take the fall
Tick tock, tick tock, clockmaker's lonely sigh
In the oncoming night, the clock strikes goodbye
Tick tock, tick tock, as trains rattle by
The timing of love slips through subway skies
Intersection in the gloom, signals eternal
A touch of a stranger, lives suddenly coalesce
The rhythmic hiss between the rails, an undertow
A fleeting chance encounter on a platform below
Two lives momentarily entwined in the flow
Lost in the heartbeats of a mechanical show
Counting down, loneliest local ride
Destinations fading from basement hideaways
Neon signs flicker out, disconnected calls
The only way to go is to take the fall
Tick tock, tick tock, clockmaker's lonely sigh
In the oncoming night, the clock strikes goodbye
Tick tock, tick tock, as trains rattle by
The timing of love slips through subway skies
In the tunnel, in the tunnel, oblivious to time
Two hearts pulse like mechanical rhyme
Cyclical, predictable, and yet so sublime
A brief symphony in the underground crime
Tick tock, tick tock, clockmaker's lonely sigh
In the oncoming night, the clock strikes goodbye
Tick tock, tick tock, as trains rattle by
The timing of love slips through subway skies
Tick tock, tick tock, heartbeat in the dark
The clockmaker's apprentice, a love left unmarked
Tick tock, tick tock, last call for the night
Two souls, crumbling like the echoes of the light
Clockwork heartbeat, metal heart still
Left cranking away, terminal chill
