lyrics

I got a life sentence for all the time I killed
But I'm none the wiser, still standing still
I slept for forty days and I slept for forty nights
When I awoke, the world had lost it's light

To the click click click of the cogs of the machine
Your heart tick tick tick, fragile, cold and lean

We're in a sideways heaven
Eight ball in the drain
You were looking rough
And I was looking mean
Pull me in close
You say you love me most
When there's nothing to love at all
When there's nothing to love at all

So polish up your skeletons, parade them all through town
No cobwebs on your secrets, you never set them down
You say that I'm too heavy, my heart is made of lead
But honey look at you, iron cap on your head

To the click click click of the cogs of the machine
Your heart tick tick tick, fragile, cold and lean

We're in a sideways heaven
Eight ball in the drain
You were looking rough
And I was looking mean
Pull me in close
You say you love me most
When there's nothing to love at all
When there's nothing to love at all

To the click click click of the cogs of the machine
Your heart tick tick tick, fragile, cold and lean
We're in a sideways heaven
Eight ball in the drain
You were looking rough
And I was looking mean
