lyrics
I wake every day in a box full of hours,
Stretch out my limbs, go take a shower
I look at the lid it said Monday again.
The days chase the days and pass through my veins
And I start my forage for love,
Or change or magic or wisdom above
The clock face’s hand will give it a shove,
The push, pushing of time X2
You can master the bow, learn to fly, learn a language.
Read a good book or gather your armies
Spend the whole while sat watching TV
Or help a small country on it’s quest to be free
The truth is the pot always boils
Whether watched or unwatched that pot it will toil
And standing there still, eyes wild yet still blind
I realise it’s all about time X2
Tick tock is there something between
The middle of the night where time stops to scream
The only time, time breaks is in hearts or a dreams
Hearts or in dreams (Repeat)
So come on my friend let’s help build this tower,
So people can see and witness its power
And once it is famous for its strength and it’s purpose
We’ll share it’s grand walls across many nations
Its words will climb over the hills
And Its answers will cure all the ills
The public will bend to its will
It’s happening in the middle of our time X2
Tick tock (repeat)
Stretch out my limbs, go take a shower
I look at the lid it said Monday again.
The days chase the days and pass through my veins
And I start my forage for love,
Or change or magic or wisdom above
The clock face’s hand will give it a shove,
The push, pushing of time X2
You can master the bow, learn to fly, learn a language.
Read a good book or gather your armies
Spend the whole while sat watching TV
Or help a small country on it’s quest to be free
The truth is the pot always boils
Whether watched or unwatched that pot it will toil
And standing there still, eyes wild yet still blind
I realise it’s all about time X2
Tick tock is there something between
The middle of the night where time stops to scream
The only time, time breaks is in hearts or a dreams
Hearts or in dreams (Repeat)
So come on my friend let’s help build this tower,
So people can see and witness its power
And once it is famous for its strength and it’s purpose
We’ll share it’s grand walls across many nations
Its words will climb over the hills
And Its answers will cure all the ills
The public will bend to its will
It’s happening in the middle of our time X2
Tick tock (repeat)
