We live a clockwork life And Saturn thinks clocks are wise We spin on clockwork time But she is counter to it Second from the sun Uninhabitable Yeah she is the son Rising in the west I long for those long days Here is only tall tales She twirls retrograde And no one posts her bail Top of the pyramid Are the tiny shiny kids They take all our bids Yeah they’re friends of Lucifer Seconds from the bomb They invented time and talk Thinks she is the bomb Rising in the west I long for those long days Here the horses are pale She spins retrograde She’s my nightingale We live a clockwork life And we think clocks are wise We spin on clockwork time But she is counter to it Second from the sun She flipped upside down Waiting for another son To rise in the east I long for those long days Here is only blood and nails She twirls retrograde She’s my blackest veil

Retrograde (Black Veil)
We live a clockwork life And Saturn thinks clocks are wise We spin on clockwork time But she is counter to it Second from the sun Uninhabitable Yeah she is the son Rising in the west I long for those long days Here is only tall tales She twirls retrograde And no one posts her bail Top of the pyramid Are the tiny shiny kids They take all our bids Yeah they’re friends of Lucifer Seconds from the bomb They invented time and talk Thinks she is the bomb Rising in the west I long for those long days Here the horses are pale She spins retrograde She’s my nightingale We live a clockwork life And we think clocks are wise We spin on clockwork time But she is counter to it Second from the sun She flipped upside down Waiting for another son To rise in the east I long for those long days Here is only blood and nails She twirls retrograde She’s my blackest veil
