Wind Me Up (Version 2)

Intro

Tick, tick, tick

Turn the key

Verse 1

Midnight on the station stairs

Every train already gone

I was a clock with frozen hands

Stuck on the minute you walked on

Verse 1 – rap

Then you turned the little key in my back

Spring pulled tight, now I'm ticking on track

Gears in my chest catch every word

Loud as a bell that the whole town heard

Pre-Chorus

Tighter, tighter, hold that turn

One more twist and the hands will run

Chorus

Wind me up, wind me up

Turn the key till I can't stop

Wind me up, wind me up

I'll run for you around the clock

Verse 2 – rap

Tick on the left, tock on the right

Pendulum swing through the neon night

You set my pace, I ring your chime

Two little hands on the same face, right on time

Verse 2

They said I'd rust if I stood too long

Said I'd run slow, said I'd tick wrong

But one small turn from your steady hand

And every cog in me understands

Pre-Chorus

Tighter, tighter, hold that turn

One more twist and the hands will run

Chorus

Wind me up, wind me up

Turn the key till I can't stop

Wind me up, wind me up

I'll run for you around the clock

Bridge – whispered

When the spring runs low

When the hands slow down

Don't put me back on the shelf

Just reach for the key and turn it around

Final Chorus

Wind me up, wind me up

Turn the key till I can't stop

Wind me up, wind me up

I'll run for you around the clock

Outro

Tick, tick, tick

Wind me up
