Hot Club De Paris - Clockwork Toy Lyrics

A clockwork toy
A broken boy
Goes through the flaming hoop
A trapeze artist
Suspended in the air

And they're going, they're leaving the game slowly
Let the clock start turning in earnest
They're going, they're leaving the game slowly
Let clockwork toys fufill their potential

An elephant
Will move his trunk
If you'd only wind him up
For his audience
Who can't get up to it
Oh no no

Well now they're going, they're leaving the game slowly
Let the clock start turning in earnest
They're going, they're leaving the game slowly
Let clockwork toys fufill their potential

How many years
Will cure, cure the fears?
Of the frozen ? worker

And they're going, they're leaving the game slowly
Let the clock start turning in earnest
They're going, they're leaving the game slowly
Let clockwork toys fufill their potential

This drummer boy plays with rattlin' teeth
The carousel spins for its tiny kids
A ballet dancer entertains a clown
And the stilt walker who won't sit down
With the other clockwork toys
