Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
I eat an hour later than everybody else
It bothers some people, I don't know why
They want to know if it’s by habit or chance
They ask me this, "Why are you like that?"
[Verse 2]
"Are you winding your clock on time?"
"Keeping your tank, tank filled up?"
Late for appointments by habit or chance
Out of uniform in so many eyes
[Chorus]
"Are you pulling the strings to your fate?"
"Are you carving the future from soap?"
"Are you pulling the strings to your fate?"
"Are you carving the future from soap?"
[Verse 3]
I eat an hour later than everybody else
It bothеrs some people, I don't know why
Thеy want to know if it's by habit or chance
They ask me this, "Why are you like that?"
[Chorus]
"Are you pulling the strings to your fate?"
"Are you carving the future from soap?"
"Are you pulling the strings to your fate?"
"Are you carving the future from soap?"
Hey! Hey!
[Verse 4]
"Are you winding your clock on time?"
"Keeping your tank, tank filled up?"
Late for appointments by habit or chance
Out of uniform in so many eyes
[Chorus]
"Are you pulling the strings to your fate?"
"Are you carving the future from soap?"
"Are you pulling the strings to your fate?"
"Are you carving the future from soap?"
