. I know nothing of that clock' tick-tock sound's game I was alone by the beach and stuck in its trance passing me by Passing everything I could have done' could have held in an embrace I am open these days . I'm ruled by a sun who knows if I’ll rise It's taking 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 'em watch while I cry and remember where I came from Living's like kissing in the dark Looking for the lips that can make a kind mark . I'm ruled by a sun who knows if I’ll rise It's taking 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 Could have held in an embrace' I am open these days . I'm ruled by a sun who knows if I’ll rise It's taking 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'm ruled by a sun who knows if I’ll rise It's taking 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 .
