Watchmaker Lyrics


Watchmaker, teach me the ways.
I want to learn the secrets and the sciences of seconds, The methods to dull my ears to the sound.Teach me how to rewind, rewind so i can relive, every second minute all i missed out. I'm always foucsed on the next thing. If only I could pause and re. Teach me how.If I were a watchmaker, I'd build suspension into the springs.
Hidden gears, secret faces.
Undiscovered hours to keep you in.There'll be no back, there'll be no forth,
Just us, where we are.Watchmaker, teach me the workings.
I want to learn the secrets and the sciences of seconds.
Teach me the seasons, the measure of these machines.I'm haunted by mechanical sounds.
Damped, stolen and swallowed, relentless, counting down
In the bellies of old enemies. I'm plagued by the tick tock, tick tock,
But with vehemence I'll take to their faces and tear them away.Come teach me the ways of the watchmaker,
We'll dull our ears to the sound.There's tension in me, I'm wound up and bound to an endless release.
A robin imprisoned in a carved clock, I'm a tune locked in a music box
To a grave melody.I can feel a nervousness in my fingers.
To spindles, they're wasting away.
And with every twitch, they're turning,
Passing by with my meaningless revolutions.I gazed too deep, I leaned in too close.
Caught by the collar and dragged into a two-four waltz.
Drawn into steps unfamiliar to me,

I was passed like partners between turning teeth.

Inspired by the emergence of the riot-grrrl movement spearheaded by bands like Bikini Kill, Bratmobile and Heavens to Betsy, singers/guitarists Carrie Brownstein and Becca Albee teamed with drummer CJ Phillips to form the Olympia, WA-based Excuse 17 in 1993. A series of compilation appearances preceded the trio's 1995 Kill Rock Stars debut Such Friends Are Dangerous; a self-titled effort for Chainsaw followed later that year, but in the wake of a split single with Lync, Excuse 17 disbanded.
