Clockwork Angels

High above the city square

Globes of light float in mid-air

Higher still, against the night

Clockwork angels bathed in light

You promise every treasure to the foolish and the wise

Goddesses of mystery, spirits in disguise

Every pleasure, we bow and close our eyes

Oh, clockwork angels, promise every prize

Clockwork angels spread their arms and sing

Synchronized and graceful, they move like living things

Goddesses of light, of sea and sky and land

Clockwork angels, the people raise their hands

As if to fly, as if to fly

All around the city square

Power shimmers in the air

People gazin' up with love

To those angels high above

Celestial machinery, move through your commands

Goddesses of mystery, so delicate and so grand

Moved to worship, we bow and close our eyes

Oh, clockwork angels, promise every prize

Clockwork angels spread their arms and sing

Synchronized and graceful, they move like living things

Goddesses of light, of sea and sky and land

Clockwork angels, the people raise their hands

As if to fly, as if to fly

Lean, not upon, your own understanding

Ignorance is well and truly blessed

Trust in perfect love and perfect plannin'

Everything will turn out for the best

And everything will turn out for the best

Stars aglow like scattered sparks

Span the sky in clockwork arcs

Hint at more than we can see

Spiritual machinery

Clockwork angels spread their arms and sing

Synchronized and graceful, they move like living things

Goddesses of light, of sea and sky and land

Clockwork angels, the people raise their hands

Clockwork angels spread their arms and sing

Synchronized and graceful, they move like living things

Goddesses of light, of sea and sky and land

Clockwork angels, the people raise their hands

As if to fly
