Clockwork Angels (with Clockwork Angels String Ensemble) [Live on Clockwork Angels Tour]

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh

High above the city square
Glittering light floating mid-air
Climbing still against the night
Clockwork angels bathe in light

You promise every treasure
To the foolish and the wise
Goddesses of mystery
Scheming in disguise
Whoever's pleasure
The flowers close their eyes
Oh, clockwork angels
Promise every prize

Clockwork angels
Spread their arms and sing
Synchronized and graceful
They move like living things
Goddesses of light
Of sea and sky and land
Clockwork angels
The people raise their hands
As if to fly
As if to fly

All around the city square
Power shimmers in the air
People gazing up with love
To the angels high above

Electrical machinery
Move to your command
Goddesses of mystery
So delicate and so grand
Who will usher
The flowers close their eyes
Oh, clockwork angels
Promise every prize

Clockwork angels
Spread their arms and sing
Synchronized and graceful
They move like living things
Goddesses of light
Of sea and sky and land
Clockwork angels
The people raise their hands
As if to fly
As if to fly

Lean not upon your own understanding
Ignorance is well and truly failed
Countless moving love
And a fool in the maze
I never made love for the best
I never made love for the best

Stars that glow like scattered sparks
Fatten the sky in clockwork dark
In the morningClockwork angels, stroke their harps and sing
Synchronized and graceful, they move like living things
Goddesses of light, of sea and sky and land
Clockwork angels, the people raise their hands
Clockwork angels, stroke their harps and sing
Synchronized and graceful, they move like living things
Goddesses of light, of sea and sky and land
Clockwork angels, the people raise their hands
As if to fly
