Rhythm, rhythm, beat, and song
Ever constant, ever strong
Sweet contraption of my own
Automatic metronome
(tick tock)
Always known
(tick tock)
Never home
Always near me, always on
Always looking like a swan
Keeps my footsteps as they are
Keeps my pickles in a jar
Hardy, senseless stepping stone
Automatic metronome
(tick tock)
Never known
(tick tock)
Always home
Never changes, never breaks
Never lets me step on rakes
Lets me do just as I please
Lets me frolic in the breeze
Wouldn't trade it for a thing
Wouldn't let it feel a sting
Still my feelings go unknown
Automatic metronome
(tick tock)
Always known
(tick tock)
Never home
It's the greatest, it's my own
Automatic metronome
