Watchmaker by Tapestry Lyrics

Heard the sound of a swollen crowd
Heard some paralyzed shouting
Trying to figure it out in time
Solved the puzzles of life with a key and kite
On some forefather’s right
But do the pieces fit tightly?

The asymmetry of a tree is what convinces me there’s no way it should be
We’re just floating around free in an infinite sea
The tattered remains of a cat breeding flies in the back
Is what makes me think that no one’s watching my back
I’m not glued to no track

The birds get along humming a different song
So is it time to move on?
Oh this puzzles all wrong
When it comes time to die
You’ll go out wailing like a child
And in that split seconds time
Will it all feel right?
I hope the ideas in my mind trickle down through my spine
And my legs can unwind
And my mind won’t think twice, and make up for last time
Well why don’t I just misbehave and leave my elephant grave?
Or play some dice for a change and remember where I came from?
We perpetuate in chaotic storm, disadvantaged unborn…
And defy nature’s preference for the simplest form
