Clockwork cat, you're losing time
You're right just twice each day
Your paws, they twitch, but never move
It's in the past you stay

Clockwork cat, your spring has sprung
Your sprockets spoilt and spent
Still now stands the pendulum
Your tail broken and bent

Clockwork cat, you've fall'n behind
Your heart has come unwound
You've run ever in circles
And what good have you found?

Clockwork cat, it's getting late
There's not long now until
The time will come to say enough
And let your paws grow still
