lyrics

Each cog must serve its purpose
To paint a thousand words
You’ll serve as my thesaurus
And wear the key to unlock worlds

So, you’re after adventure?
Let’s sneak to silver screens
I run the clocks so we’ve got all night long
To find the place where they make our dreams

You cannot hide true talent
Inside a dresser drawer
Spirits like hers will find you
And push you after more

Rotting away amongst this rust
Of moving parts until I become dust
Toiling away with tinker toys
Inducing life from mechanical boys
Helping the minutes turn away
Wasting each day until I go insane
I fear attention but need to be noticed

And someday: Isabelle Cabret
If you’d only just take my name
And help me find lost ways
Like we did Monsieur Melies
Someday: Isabelle Cabret
