Cheap Watch

 Wound up tighter than a cheap watch
 Wind it up and watch how the time flies
 Little white teeth wound around what sounds like more cheap lies
 Little black clouds suck us up into the sky

 Wound up where the Christmas lights stay up all year
 And it takes the barman half an hour just to get me another beer
 Was it just for kicks or was it hitting out of fear
 One step closer, two steps closer, we gotta make things clear

 One foot on the gas, two feet from Tennessee
 The little hand on the twelve-gauge and the big hand swinging free
 Well, I made you look but I could not make you see
 Look down at your shoes 'cause the tie that binds is untied by me

 Rabble-rouser and the E-string in my leister
 Bring it down like a stabbing pain
 It's the last call and I'm calling on
 Something that they don't serve
 Like a double shot of that ball and chain

 Spoonful of absence makes my heart grow fonder
 Spoonful of absinthe makes my mind to wander
 Spoonful of sugar down at the candy store
 I got a string around your sweet tooth, baby
 And I'm getting up to slam the door

 Wound up tighter than a cheap watch
 Wind it up and watch how the time flies
 Little white teeth wound around what sounds like more cheap lies
 Little black clouds suck us up into the sky
 Little black clouds suck us up into the sky
