The Clock Is Ticking

Tic tac tic tac
Just feel the hammer under your bones
The metronome out of control
This organic and flawed clockwork
Tic tac tic tac tic, the clock is ticking
Tic tac tic tac
Just hear the roar in your throat
The primal scream so close to get out
This rabid voice too old to shout
Tic tac tic tac tic, the clock is ticking
Tic tac tic tac
Hey hey
Just dance
At the only pace
That you can
Hey hey
Just play
This dubious game
'Til the end
Just stand the thoughts in your head
The only place never at rest
This endless stream of desire and angst
Tic tac tic tac tic, the clock is ticking
Tic tac tic tac
Like the monkey
Get on your feet
And follow the beat
Tic tac tic tac tic, the clock is ticking
Like the monkey, like the monkey
Get on your feet, get on your feet
And follow the beat, follow the beat
Tic tac tic tac tic, the clock is ticking
Hey hey
Just dance
At the only pace
That you can
Hey hey
Just play
This dubious game
'til the end
Like the monkey
Get on your feet
And follow the beat
Tic tac tic tac
Tic tac tic tac
The clock is ticking
