Capo III

EmPolished up and standing in a roBw
GWind up the gears, watch them goA  
CPeople made of spring and sparks
EmHumming with electric heartsB  
Hoping for a ghost inside the shell
But if it's there it's hidden well
All we are is ticks and tocks
Seconds in a pocket watch
COh you silly thiEmngs

Walking on a January lake
I feel the ice around me break
One more ripple in the pond
Stretches out until it's calm
