Like Clockwork - The Boomtown Rats (from the album "A Tonic For The Troops")
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock
Tick tock, tick tock
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock
I'm not disconnected
I'm not unaware
I'm in one place at one time
I'm neither here nor there
I'm hooked to the mainstream
Tuned into the world
Plugged into my surroundings
not out on a limb
I'm thinking in a straight line
I'm thinking that these thoughts are mine
My heart is beating oh so fast
I feel the hours crashing
And my mind beats time like clockwork
And I think in sync like clockwork
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock
She's done away with emotion
She sees things clearly now
She says she sees it all from her room
And it looks so small from her room
It's all right, it's all right
I'm on your side...for a while
She thinks time is the concept by which we measure our age
She wants to say it again, but she don't have time
Because her mind beats time like clockwork
And she thinks in sync like clockwork
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock
Count the hours, count the months and minutes
You're born in tears and you die in pain and that's your limit
You're lookin' for so many reasons but there's none
there, why don't you admit it
We make the most of what we've got, that's the ticket
My, my, my
I stayed in that room a long, long time
And watched the seasons gliding by
And hey...what's the matter?
We've got time, lots of time
It's alright, it's alright
I'm on your side for a while
We'll wind up
We'll slow down
We'll speed up, move around, or we'll maybe overwind..
Because our minds beats time like clockwork
And now we think in sync like clockwork ooh ooh ooh
And our minds beats time like clockwork
And we think in sync like clockwork
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock
