lyrics

When I’m alone I have a secret that I never talk about
I have a secret room that none of my friends they are privy to.
I have a plastic melting gun that helps me glue the shiny parts
And underneath the wooden floor a metal key for the silver door.

I’m working on a new machine that makes my eyes and windows clean
I’m working on a telephone that tells the ex to leave me alone
I’m working on a tiny car that parks itself no matter where you are
I’m working on a new balloon that makes the air fresh in every room

I tinker with the tiny parts of the twenty toys that I took apart
I tape a wire onto y chest and try to start my heart
I take a million Christmas lights and tie them to my bicycle

I’m working on a time machine just like the one on the TV screen
I’m working on a trampoline that helps me bounce back from tragedy
I’m programming an ATM that knows sometimes it is ok to lend
I’m inventing a rhyme that doesn’t sound like every other rhyme

I’m inventing a clock that tells me when it is time to stop, stop, stop...

Keep my eyes and windows clean so I can see, so I can see
Keep my eyes and windows clean so I can see, so I can see

I’m working on a new machine that makes my eyes and windows clean
I’m working on a telephone that tells the ex to leave me alone
I’m working on a tiny car that parks itself no matter where you are
I’m working on a new balloon that makes the air fresh in every room
