Lyrics:

A clockwork toy
A broken boy
Swung through a flaming hoop
A trapeze artist
Suspended in the air
But they're going, they're leaving, they're getting up slowly
Let the cogs start turning in earnest
They're going, they're leaving, they're getting up slowly
Like clockwork toys who fulfil their potential
Elephant
Would move his trunk
If you'd only wind him up
For his audience
Who can't get up to leave
Oh no no
But now they're going, they're leaving, they're getting up slowly
Let the cogs start turning in earnest
They're going, they're leaving, they're getting up slowly
Like clockwork toys who fulfil their potential
How many years
Will cure, cure the fears
Of the frozen tightrope walker?

But now they're going, they're leaving. they're getting up slowly
Let the cogs start turning in earnest
They're going, they're leaving, they're getting up slowly
Like clockwork toys who fulfil their potential
(Clockwork toy, broken boy)
This drummer boy plays with rattlin' teeth
The carousel spins for it's tiny kids
A ballet dancer entertains a clown
And the stilt walker who won't sit down
With the other clockwork toys
