[Verse] The clock is ticking loud in my head Seconds slipping like butter on bread Hands spin faster than a racing train Time's a thief Stealing my champagne [Prechorus] Do you hear it Do you feel it The silent scream We can't conceal it [Chorus] Tick tock Tick tock It's all we got Round and round The hands won't stop Tick tock Tick tock Life's a plot Write your story before it's forgot [Verse 2] I tried to bribe the pendulum's sway Offered my watch Begged it to stay But the moments laughed and ran away Left me chasing shadows of yesterday [Bridge] Time's a joker Time's a king Time's a bird with a broken wing It limps It flies It slips It stings But oh The chaos it always brings [Chorus] Tick tock Tick tock It's all we got Round and round The hands won't stop Tick tock Tick tock Life's a plot Write your story before it's forgot
