Standard (EADGBE)

Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock

Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock

I'm not disconnected

I'm not unaware

I'm in one place at one time

I'm neither here nor there

I'm hooked to the mainstream

Tuned into the world

Plugged into my surroundings

not out on a limb

I'm thinking in a straight line

I'm thinking that these thoughts are mine

My heart is beating oh so fast

I feel the hours crashing

And my mind beats time like clockwork

And I think in sync like clockwork

Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock

Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock

She's done away with emotion

She sees things clearly now

She says she sees it all from her room

And it looks so small from her room

It's all right, it's all right

I'm on your side...for a while

She thinks time is the concept by which we measure our age

She wants to say it again, but she don't have time

Because her mind beats time like clockwork

And she thinks in sync like clockwork

Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock

Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock

Count the hours, count the months and minutes

You're born in tears and you die in pain and that's your limit

You're lookin' for so many reasons but there's none

there, why don't you admit it

We make the most of what we've got, that's the ticket

My, my, my

I stayed in that room a long, long time

And watched the seasons gliding by

And hey...what's the matter?

We've got time, lots of time

It's alright, it's alright

I'm on your side for a while

We'll wind up

We'll slow down

We'll speed up, move around, or we'll maybe overwind..

Because our minds beats time like clockwork

And now we think in sync like clockwork ooh ooh ooh

And our minds beats time like clockwork

And we think in sync like clockwork

Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock

Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock
