Tick Tock
Got our heels dug in
But time is dragging us toward
The time when time won't matter any more
They say life is but a vapour
Just a blip on a radar screen
Not the dates on your tombstone
But the dash in between
There's just today, that's all we got
There's just today, that's all we got
Tick-tock, the past is locked
The future's far away
You can't go back, you can't hurry it up
You gotta learn to live today
Tick-tock, it's now o'clock
The little hand is ours
The second hand sweeps us around
And the Big Hand has the power
The Big Hand has the power
Well, am I living or am I dying
Will the world get another day?
I hear a baby crying, and I pluck out another grey
I'm always talking about a change
But talkings all I've done
I'm gonna start tomorrow
But tomorrow never comes
There's just today, that's all we got (there's just today, that's all we got)
There's just today, that's all we got (there's just today, that's all we got)
Tick-tock, the past is locked
The future's far away
You can't go back, you can't hurry it up
You gotta learn to live today
Tick-tock, it's now o'clock
The little hand is ours
The second hand sweeps us around
And the Big Hand has the power
The Big Hand has the power
Always running late
Don't procrastinate
Leaving in a hurry
Life is rolling on
Give me just a second
Wait another minute
Sleep another hour
See another day dawn
Call you next week
See you in a month
Celebrate a season
Now another year's gone
Well there goes a decade, a century, millennium
And here comes eternity, eternity, eternity
Here comes eternity, eternity
What's up with eternity?
Tick-tock, the past is locked
The future's far away
You can't go back, you can't hurry it up
You gotta learn to live today
Tick-tock, it's now o'clock
The little hand is ours
The second hand sweeps us around
And the Big Hand has the power
The Big Hand has the power
But time is dragging us toward
The time when time won't matter any more
They say life is but a vapour
Just a blip on a radar screen
Not the dates on your tombstone
But the dash in between
There's just today, that's all we got
There's just today, that's all we got
Tick-tock, the past is locked
The future's far away
You can't go back, you can't hurry it up
You gotta learn to live today
Tick-tock, it's now o'clock
The little hand is ours
The second hand sweeps us around
And the Big Hand has the power
The Big Hand has the power
Well, am I living or am I dying
Will the world get another day?
I hear a baby crying, and I pluck out another grey
I'm always talking about a change
But talkings all I've done
I'm gonna start tomorrow
But tomorrow never comes
There's just today, that's all we got (there's just today, that's all we got)
There's just today, that's all we got (there's just today, that's all we got)
Tick-tock, the past is locked
The future's far away
You can't go back, you can't hurry it up
You gotta learn to live today
Tick-tock, it's now o'clock
The little hand is ours
The second hand sweeps us around
And the Big Hand has the power
The Big Hand has the power
Always running late
Don't procrastinate
Leaving in a hurry
Life is rolling on
Give me just a second
Wait another minute
Sleep another hour
See another day dawn
Call you next week
See you in a month
Celebrate a season
Now another year's gone
Well there goes a decade, a century, millennium
And here comes eternity, eternity, eternity
Here comes eternity, eternity
What's up with eternity?
Tick-tock, the past is locked
The future's far away
You can't go back, you can't hurry it up
You gotta learn to live today
Tick-tock, it's now o'clock
The little hand is ours
The second hand sweeps us around
And the Big Hand has the power
The Big Hand has the power
