The Sound of the Clock

Tic Toc Tic Toc The clock goes on Like a sirens 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 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 And now it’s time for a snooze Tic Toc Tic Toc Am I like the clock, in the endless loop? Monotonously working until my eyes droop Waiting for the time when I finally count sheep? A baller always sitting, never getting the hoop just following orders like a troop Or am I a leader, one a little neater, like little bo beep? Tic Toc 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 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 Tic Tic Toc
