A clockwork toy
A broken boy
Goes through the flaming hoop
A trapeze artist
Suspended in the air
And they're going, they're leaving the game slowly
Let the clock start turning in earnest
They're going, they're leaving the game slowly
Let clockwork toys fufill their potential
An elephant
Will move his trunk
If you'd only wind him up
For his audience
Who can't get up to it
Oh no no
Well now they're going, they're leaving the game slowly
Let the clock start turning in earnest
They're going, they're leaving the game slowly
Let clockwork toys fufill their potential
How many years
Will cure, cure the fears?
Of the frozen? worker
And they're going, they're leaving the game slowly
Let the clock start turning in earnest
They're going, they're leaving the game slowly
Let clockwork toys fufill their potential
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
