Tic Toc Tic Tic Toc The clock goes on Like a siren’s song Calling me into a long sleep The clock goes on Until you hear twelve gongs In this game of time it plays for keeps Tic Toc Tic Tic Toc Around and Around this clock with its sound Like the crier of the town Trying to tell the news But nothing’s done, is what we’ve found Whether it’s humans or hounds Now it’s time for a snooze Tic Toc Tic Tic Toc Am I like the clock, in the endless loop? Working til my eyes droop til I can finally count sheep? Am I a baller, never getting the hoop? following orders like a troop? Or am I a leader, one a little neater, like little bo beep? Tic Toc Tic Tic Toc Time goes on It’s time to move on But nothing ever got done The sun moves on Nearing the dawn Now it’s time for fun Tic Toc Tic Tic Toc Now that it’s night It’s time to take flight Leaving my other life behind Of that plight I’m starting to lose sight And happiness is what I find Tic Tic Toc Toc Tic Tic Toc Toc

The Sound of the Clock
Tic Toc Tic Tic Toc The clock goes on Like a siren’s song Calling me into a long sleep The clock goes on Until you hear twelve gongs In this game of time it plays for keeps Tic Toc Tic Tic Toc Around and Around this clock with its sound Like the crier of the town Trying to tell the news But nothing’s done, is what we’ve found Whether it’s humans or hounds Now it’s time for a snooze Tic Toc Tic Tic Toc Am I like the clock, in the endless loop? Working til my eyes droop til I can finally count sheep? Am I a baller, never getting the hoop? following orders like a troop? Or am I a leader, one a little neater, like little bo beep? Tic Toc Tic Tic Toc Time goes on It’s time to move on But nothing ever got done The sun moves on Nearing the dawn Now it’s time for fun Tic Toc Tic Tic Toc Now that it’s night It’s time to take flight Leaving my other life behind Of that plight I’m starting to lose sight And happiness is what I find Tic Tic Toc Toc Tic Tic Toc Toc
