I know nothing of that clock, tick-tock soundscape.
I was along by the beat and stuck in its trance, passing me by.
Passing everything I could have done,
And could have held in an embrace,
I am open these days.
(chorus)
And ruled by a sun who knows if I'll rise,
It's taken me a long time to make this compromise.
You know what I wanted and I'm wanting it still.
Tick-tocking of a clock, I am not waiting here.
So shoot me in the back now and see if I run.
Let them watch while I cry and remember where I came from.
Living's like kissing in the dark;
You're looking for the lips that can make a kind mark.
(chorus)
I'm ruled by a sun who knows if I'll rise,
It's taken me a long time to make this compromise.
You know what I wanted and I'm wanting it still.
Tick-tocking of a clock I am not waiting here.
I can't do it, no.
And I wouldn't want to anymore.
I can't do it, no.
Passing everything I could have done,
And could have held in an embrace.
I am open these days,
(chorus)
And ruled by a sun who knows if I'll rise,
It's taken me a long time to make this compromise.
You know what I wanted and I'm wanting it still.
Tick-tocking of a clock, l am not waiting here.
I'm ruled by a sun who knows if I'll rise.
It's taken me a long time to make this compromise.
You know what I wanted and I'm wanting it still.
Tick-tocking of a clock I am not waiting here.
