Tick, tock, tick, tock
The clock’s hands go round
Passing by again and again
Following the same routine
Tock, tick, tock, tick
Time flies by
Never the same moment twice
Always something new in store
Ding, dong, ding, dong
Ol’ grandfather clock’s chime
Another hour past
A day of living gone
Dong, ding, dong, ding
“Hurry up,” he says
The sandman of time
“Got no time to waste”
Bizz, buzz, bizz, bizz
Get up out of bed
Face another day
Live a little longer
Buzz, bizz, buzz, bizz
You snooze you lose
You can’t win if you don’t play
Can’t play if you don’t win
Wee, ooo, wee, ooo
The death toll
For all to hear
See it rush down the highway
Ooo, wee, ooo, wee
Going faster now
Trying to make it in time
But time plays by its own rules
Beeeeeeeeep
There it is
The sound of losing
The end
…
The sound you hear
When you know it’s too late
When time claims its newest victim
What will you do?
Your time’s ticking away
Will you stand and wait
Or seize the day?
