A Piece Of String - Clock Opera

You have set me free

From analysing dreams

And taking seat too long

I love you right and wrong

So draw the strings enough

To stand this story up

And keep them tight and strong

And love me right and wrong

Because if you fall I will fall

From a height immeasurable

I will be your beat

When you stand upon my feet

And flatten out my frown

And love me up and down

Smiles are fixed on cheeks

When you take control of me

Come on let’s take up slack and strain

And I will love your every plane

Because if you fall I will fall

From a height immeasurable

And if you sleep then I will sleep

Through midwinter til our shadows dance again

Oh I don’t know why

You teach me wrong from right

Oh I don’t know how

You show me up from down

Oh I don’t know why

You teach me black from white

Oh I don’t know how

You turn me inside out

You’ve got me dangling on a piece of string
