Clockwork

Lyrics

[Chorus] Round like a circle In a spiral Like a wheel within a wheel Never ending, nor beginning On an ever spinning reel Bounce now Round like a circle In a spiral Like a wheel within a wheel Never ending, nor beginning On an ever spinning reel [Verse 1] Yo what's up chaps, it's big Phrase the villain Still writin' raps for the guys and the women Still rockin' mics and the skies are the limit So I jumped on this merry-go-ride for a minute (uh-huh) Just to see if I could get around again And make a track about what's happenin' in the town and then Around six, everybody just knocks off work And they all drove home just like clockwork Tick, tock, another day gone Sun's up, comes down, but it all moves along Somehow, some way, then it falls into place And we might stand still, but we all fit in space The motion repeats as the ocean retreats And the tide comes back when it flows to the beach And the world goes around, around it goes You know what, life is but a cycle, go [Chorus] Round like a circle In a spiral Like a wheel within a wheel Never ending, nor beginning On an ever spinning reel Round like a circle In a spiral Like a wheel within a wheel Never ending, nor beginning On an ever spinning reel [Verse 2] Yeah, everyday I wake to the same old caper Another fistfight with the pissed off neighbour Another piece to write, pen back to the paper In the hope I write a track that might be a saviour At least just enough to get me outta here To the safe house with about a thousand beers And the big red chair with the birds eye view With the world at work while I sip my brews Tick, tock, another day gone And as one logs off, another logs on Another child's born and another man dies And as one gives up, well another man tries And it all makes sense like thoughts in my head That we're not much more than cause and effect And the world goes around, around it goes You know what, life is like a cycle, go [Chorus] Round like a circle In a spiral Like a wheel within a wheel Never ending, nor beginning On an ever spinning reel Round like a circle In a spiral Like a wheel within a wheel Never ending, nor beginning On an ever spinning reel Like the circles that you find In the windmills of your mind [Verse 3] It goes 'round and 'round like the pupil in my eyes Seen enough to cry, seen enough to smoke Old enough to vote, man enough to die But young enough to care enough to ask why 'Round and 'round like the blood from my heart Pumped down through my veins then back to the start So I treat each day as my last And I step to the future and not the past Tick, tock, and around again And then back to the point where I found my pen Yeah, just to see if I can get around again And make a track about what's happenin' in the town and then Around six everybody just knocks off work And they all drive home just like clockwork And the world goes around, around it goes You know what; life is just a cycle, go [Chorus] Round like a circle In a spiral Like a wheel within a wheel Never ending, nor beginning On an ever spinning reel Round like a circle In a spiral Like a wheel within a wheel Never ending, nor beginning On an ever spinning reel Like the circles that you find In the windmills of your- Like the circles that you find In the windmills of your- Like the circles that you find In the windmills of your mind Mind... Mind... Mind...
