lyrics

I got mad at myself today

I found out I can’t dance for jack

Been wearin’ out all my shoes just workin’ on moves

and rhythm but I never been good at that



My pockets are full of holes

where my money once used to be at

I oughta be better at managing my finances but I never been good at that



So I was planning a new invention that would take away all my blues

But I sold the blueprint for some money to buy myself some shoes



I am the mechanical wind up man

I keep going as far as I can

I don’t know when I should stop

I guess I’ll go until I drop



The sunny day rain comes down

cuz’ the devil’s been beatin’ his wife

Someday that woman oughta have that man arrested but she’s never been good at that



So Persephone waits her season

And I can wait my time, too

I’m soakin’ my two left feet ‘til I can figure out what to do



I am the mechanical wind up man

I keep going as far as I can

I don’t know when I should stop

I guess I’ll go until I drop



Voices fill my head like morning fog

that’s my internal dialogue

One says I’ve got one chance in three

One says I am my enemy

One says I ought to hang up my gloves

One says to change my pushes to shoves

Lots of opinions, lots of advice

But I’ve already bet and rolled the dice



I am the mechanical wind up man

I keep going as far as I can

I don’t know when I should stop

I guess I’ll go until I drop

It’s alright I’m feelin’ good

wheels and parts are workin’ just like they should

I am the mechanical wind up man

I keep going as far as I can

Salvo Birmingham, Alabama

Many of the band members of Salvo used to be in Pain, who released four albums and toured heavily in the '90's, earning a nationwide fan-base that remains gleefully loyal. Pain produced videos, recorded for Cartoon Network, had their songs included in television soundtracks, and worked relentlessly as one of the most unique pop-punk bands to come out. Most of Pain has returned as Salvo. ... more
