"Grandfather Clock Strikes Twelve" lyrics - EELS
Temptation rears, its ugly head upside again
I guess that at this point, I'll treat it like a friend
I got your call, let's have a ball when they go to bed
Lock the door, we're on the floor, the starving will be fed
[Chorus:]
Grandfather clock strikes twelve (Have you seen an angel fell?)
Grandfather clock strikes twelve (Satan eats my soul in Hell)
Grandfather clock strikes twelve (Have you seen an angel fell?)
Grandfather clock strikes twelve
Peace on Earth, the peace on Earth is all I really need
The rich man with their bags and loot, well that's just chicken feed
But I got gold and truth be told, it's not just in my teeth
This is good and quite worth it, whatever lies beneath
[Chorus:]
Grandfather clock strikes twelve (Have you seen an angel fell?)
Grandfather clock strikes twelve (Satan eats my soul in Hell)
Grandfather clock strikes twelve (Have you seen an angel fell?)
Grandfather clock strikes twelve
[Bridge:]
Now I wear the power, oh, the countdown does begin
I can't wait to seal my fate, oh God, the shape I'm in
The tractor pulls? Oh, that's for fools on a Friday night
Whatever's wrong in the world right now, let's just make it right
[Chorus:]
Grandfather clock strikes twelve (Have you seen an angel fell?)
Grandfather clock strikes twelve (Satan eats my soul in Hell)
Grandfather clock strikes twelve (Have you seen an angel fell?)
Grandfather clock strikes twelve
