Lyrics
The valet at the Westin, he almost learned my name.
It's Tuesday, quarter past ten, I'm playing the same old game.
The lobby smells like money and last winter's perfume,

[Chorus]
Oh, this gilt escapement, this honey-whiskey lie,
We only run true 'til the last of the ice.
This beautiful movement, it's borrowed and bright,

[Bridge]
Then my phone buzzes once from the pocket of my coat,
And the whole damn mirage just goes up in smoke.
[Outro]
The ticking gets louder on the long walk home.
Yeah, the ticking gets louder when you're walking alone.
