"I'm a Watch Man-Child," Version 2

 

I’m a Watch Man-Child, written and performed by Jeffrey McMahon (6-21-15) 

I don’t know what watch to wear today/ a pilot or a diver

A Breitling Super Avenger/ so I can avenge my enemies

I’m empowered by Omega Planet Ocean/ I don’t need your sympathy 

My wife says I should sell a few/ but I can’t let go, not even one

My wife says I sleep with a watch on/ doesn’t everyone? 

I’m a watch man-child/ I don’t even know what time it is

I’m staring at the dial/ and the doubled-domed sapphire 

Another watch is coming in the mail/ my emotions are flying

I’ve found another Holy Grail/ Now my wife is crying 

Time to upload another video/ for the watch community

The images better be striking/ delivered in 1080p 

Rambling about my Swiss-made chronos/ as I scale the tiers of luxury

A lume shot of Superluminova/ all captured live on HD 

My wife says I should sell a few/ but I can’t let go, not even one

My wife says I sleep with a watch on, doesn’t everyone? 

I’m a watch man-child/I don’t even know what time it is

I’m staring at the dial/and the doubled-domed sapphire 

My self-actualization/ demands another Panerai

All this incontinent spending/ now my wife is crying

Therapy. Lots of therapy.

You're a brave man. Listening to this conjured up images of Bill Bixby wandering along that lonely highway trying to thumb a ride. It's a lonely life, trying to tame the monster within that is watch addiction.

Posting this lugubrious melody, I felt like part of me was a brave man and another part of me was a fool.
