Watching the clock marking time
Noting my slow decline
Hearing the tick and hearing the tock
Marking time and watching the clock
Tick tock, tick tock

Seeing it now in my friends
Thinking about how it ends
Hearing the tick and hearing the tock
Marking time and watching the clock
Tick tock, tick tock

Seeing the lines, seeing them form
Seeing the time our youth deform
Wondering how, how many days
Till time rips you away

Tick tock, tick tock

And I say that I love you for ever
But I hear the tick of the clock
So every day and every hour
I wait for the axe to drop

And it chops
The axe does chop
Tick tock, tick tock...
