...Like Clockwork Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Everyone, it seems
Has somewhere to go
And the faster the world spins
The shorter the lights will glow
And I'm swimming in the night
Chasing down the moon
The deeper in the water
The more I long for you
[Chorus 1]
Most of what you see, my dear, is purely for show
Because not everything that goes around comes back around, you know
Holdin' on too long is just a fear of letting go
Because not everything that goes around comes back around, you know
One thing that is clear, it's all downhill from here
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
The love line in your hand
Cleverly disguised
All the promises of stone
Crumble in the light
[Chorus 2]
Most of what you see, my dear, is worth letting go
Because not everything that goes around comes back around, you know
Holdin' on too long is just a fear of what to show
Because not everything that goes around comes back around, you know
Not everything that goes around comes back around, you know
One thing that is clear, it's all downhill from here
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Everyone, it seems
Has somewhere to go
And the faster the world spins
The shorter the lights will glow
And I'm swimming in the night
Chasing down the moon
The deeper in the water
The more I long for you
[Chorus 1]
Most of what you see, my dear, is purely for show
Because not everything that goes around comes back around, you know
Holdin' on too long is just a fear of letting go
Because not everything that goes around comes back around, you know
One thing that is clear, it's all downhill from here
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
The love line in your hand
Cleverly disguised
All the promises of stone
Crumble in the light
[Chorus 2]
Most of what you see, my dear, is worth letting go
Because not everything that goes around comes back around, you know
Holdin' on too long is just a fear of what to show
Because not everything that goes around comes back around, you know
Not everything that goes around comes back around, you know
One thing that is clear, it's all downhill from here
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
About
Genius Annotation
The title track of this album is also the last of the triumphant project.
Josh Homme returns to the piano to round off this album with a rather depressing but beautiful song about regrets in life. It grapples with the idea that people will do as they please, and you have no power to say otherwise.
