Tick Tock

My world is getting fuzzy My shoulders sting to move My feet are stuck and muddy My hair's too tired to grow My arms are weak and lazy My breath is short and fast My ears are courting silence And my best days are my past   Tick tock I'm turning circles Tick tock I race the clock Tick tock I'm going nowhere Tick tock tick tock tick tock   I look in the mirror My granddad's looking back He sat all daylong staring At the family heirloom clock It's all that he could see by then Hands spinning on that face That's not enough for me at all Don't let me do the same   Tick tock I'm turning circles Tick tock I chase the clock Tick tock I think I'm losing Tick tock tick tock tick tock   Nobody sees me, nobody hears me, no one looks at my face How did this happen? Somebody tell me. When did my world begin to fade? Oh, how did this happen? - Somebody tell me Tick tock I'm turning circles Tick tock I hate that clock Tick tock it's in my house now Tick tock tick tock tick tock   Cross your arms you young ones Call me "sir" with your best sneer Or turn your head to look away As if I am not here Your day will be coming As it has for me And then you'll feel the loss of worth And finally hear my plea   Tick tock you'll turn those circles Tick tock you'll race that clock Tick tock you're going nowhere Tick tock tick tock   Tick tock my head is spinning Tick tock I dread the clock Tick tock I'm going home now Tick tock tick tock tick tock
