Never Been Good at That
I got mad at myself today
I found out I can't dance for Jack
I've been wearin' out all my shoes
Just workin' on moves and rhythm
But I've never been good at that
My pockets are full of holes
Where my money once used to be at
I oughta be better at managing my finances but
I've never been good at that
So I was planning a new invention
That would take away all my blues
But I sold the blueprint for some money to
Buy myself some shoes
I am the mechanical wind up man, yay
I keep going as far as I can, yay
I don't know when I should stop, yay
I guess I'll go until I drop, yay-yay
The sunny day rain comes down
'Cause the devil's been beatin' his wife
Someday that woman oughta have that man arrested but
She's never been good at that
So Persephone waits her season
And I can wait my time, too
I'm soakin' my two left feet 'til I can
Figure out what to do
I am the mechanical wind up man, yay
I keep going as far as I can, yay
I don't know when I should stop, yay
I guess I'll go until I drop, yay-yay
Voices fill my head like morning fog
That's my internal dialogue
One says I've got one chance in three
One says I am my enemy
One says I ought to hang up my gloves
One says to change my pushes to shoves
Lots of opinions, lots of advice
But I've already bet and rolled the dice, yay!
I am the mechanical wind up man, yay
I keep going as far as I can, yay
I don't know when I should stop, yay
I guess I'll go until I drop, yay
It's alright I'm feelin' good, yay
Wheels and parts are workin' just like they should, yay
I am the mechanical wind up man, yay
I keep going as far as I can
I found out I can't dance for Jack
I've been wearin' out all my shoes
Just workin' on moves and rhythm
But I've never been good at that
My pockets are full of holes
Where my money once used to be at
I oughta be better at managing my finances but
I've never been good at that
So I was planning a new invention
That would take away all my blues
But I sold the blueprint for some money to
Buy myself some shoes
I am the mechanical wind up man, yay
I keep going as far as I can, yay
I don't know when I should stop, yay
I guess I'll go until I drop, yay-yay
The sunny day rain comes down
'Cause the devil's been beatin' his wife
Someday that woman oughta have that man arrested but

And I can wait my time, too

I am the mechanical wind up man, yay
I keep going as far as I can
