lyrics

So you wanna be a hero?
Be an icon just like me
Feast yr eyes on my invention
Such a magnificent timepiece
Do you wanna try it out now?
Spend a day as the powers that be
You wanna know what it feels like
To hold the time only I can keep

I'm the watchmaker, I'm the watchmaker
Time is borne in my hands
The world turns in my hands
I'm the watchmaker, I'm the watchmaker
You probably don't understand
It's all in my hands

I know you've heard of me before now
But you don't seem to be impressed
I know you think that you're all that
What you don't know is that you're in my debt
Tune out the sound of yr own voice
Have you ever given it a thought
I've got greater obligations
I can't hear you over the tick tock

Tick, tock, watchmaker
