Eels - Grandfather Clock Strikes Twelve Lyrics

Eels Lyrics

"Grandfather Clock Strikes Twelve"

Temptation rears it's ugly head upside again
I guess that at this point I'll treat it as 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

Grandfather clock strikes twelve
(Devil's favorite angel fell)
Grandfather clock strikes twelve
(Satan wants my soul in hell)
Grandfather clock strikes twelve
(Devil's favorite 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

Grandfather clock strikes twelve
(Devil's favorite angel fell)
Grandfather clock strikes twelve
(Satan wants my soul in hell)
Grandfather clock strikes twelve
(Devil's favorite angel fell)
Grandfather clock strikes twelve

When or where the power of 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

Grandfather clock strikes twelve
(Devil's favorite angel fell)
Grandfather clock strikes twelve
(Satan wants my soul in hell)
Grandfather clock strikes twelve
(Devil's favorite angel fell)
Grandfather clock strikes twelve
