Tick Tock

Tick tock, tick tock, we all know the sound
Time's never there when you want him around
Every day, any way
We try and make plans
But he looks with his face
while he collects with his hands
Grapple my minutes, my hours, my days
With hold-ups and gridlocks
And countless delayed space
But don't let it get in your way
We all know how old you can get in a day

Time keeps me up with its constant beat
I can drag my heels or I can move my feet
Tick tock, tick tock with its constant beat
You can drag your heels
But you should move your feet

Just do it, just let go
You just can't stop it, so
Just do it, just let go
You just can't stop it
You just can't stop it

Bells and teachers: it's time to wake up
We're only here because time ran with luck
Lady Luck watches, she gives little help
She does deals whilst we get dealt
Dealing with me then waving me by
How time flies! How does time fly?
Can't do anymore, too much on my plate
Time's screwing me while I'm fucking late

Time keeps me up with its constant beat
I can drag my heels or I can move my feet
Tick tock, tick tock with its constant beat
You can drag your heels
But you should move your feet

Just do it, just let go
You just can't stop it, so
Just do it, just let go
You just can't stop it
You just can't stop it

Wait wait wait wait
Wait wait wait wait (I won't)
Wait (I don't want to wait)
Wait wait (I won't)
Wait (I don't) wait (want to) wait wait

Just do it, just let go
You just can't stop it, so
Just do it, just let go
You just can't stop it
You just can't stop it
