Jeremy Messersmith - John the Determinist lyrics

Polished up and standing in a row Wind up the gears, watch them go People made of spring and sparks Humming with electric hearts 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 Oh you silly things I've got you figured out Walking on a January lake I feel the ice around me break One more ripple in the pond Stretches out until it's calm
