lyrics

Ants in the sugar bowl are something to behold
 Shining in the silverware like little specks of gold 
Milling through the sweetness like bees in honeycomb
 You'll put it in your tea when we can bring some money home 

Pendulum swings, energy's unlocked
Counting down the seconds like a grasshopper clock
 Down by the river where the water meets the dock
 We're rowing in the rhythm of the grasshopper clock

 When I see a lovely flower I can't help but pick it
 When you look to me for answers all you get is crickets  

Stone on stone, brick upon the block
 Munching up the minutes like the grasshopper clock
Wings take flight, people take a walk 
And end up all together at the grasshopper clock 

I saw the sky today, the colors made me feel so lowly
I saw the world outside my window below, turning slowly  

When I see a perfect surface then I'll want to nick it
 When you ask me for solutions all I'll give is crickets

  Heartbeats start like small electric shocks
Going through the motions like a grasshopper clock
 Round I go and on your door I'll knock 
Saying meet me in an hour at the grasshopper clock  

The world passeth away and lust thereof will vanish with it
 They'll say it's for the best but I will miss it, oh, I'll miss it
 When I find a puddle then I'll always want to kick it
When I try out new ideas all I get it is ...crickets
