The Clock Ticks On lyrics

You didn't even scratch the surface.

You wasted time and scratched your head,

and now you get a little nervous.

You count five (count five) or count ten (count ten)

or count twenty, but it's over then.

[Refrain]

How long, how long,

how long can one life last?

How long, how long,

how long until we're past?

How long, how long?

How long and time goes by...

How long, how long, how long?

The clock ticks on.

You spent your lifetime on a trapdoor,

you didn't miss to risk it all.

And as you wonder what you're here for,

you count six (count six) or count twelve (count twelve)

or count twenty-four.

So pinch yourself.

[Refrain]

[Refrain]

The clock ticks on. [x4]
