[The Boomtown Rats - Like Clockwork lyrics]
(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)
(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 down
My mind beats time like clockwork (I, I, I)
And I think in sync like clockwork (I, I, I)
(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) it's all
Right (it's all right)
I'm on your side for a while
She thinks time is a concept
Which we measure our age
(She'll say it again)
She wants to say it again
But she don't have time
Because her heart beats time like clockwork
(I, I, I)
And she thinks in sync like clockwork
(I, I, I)
(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'll die in pain
That's your limit
You're lookin' for some many reasons
But there's none, there
Why don't you admit it?
We'll make the most of what we've got
That's the ticket my, my, my, 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 all right
(it's all right) it's all
Right (it's all right)
I'm on your side for a while
We wind up, we slow down
We speed up, move around
And we maybe overwind
Because our minds beat time like clockwork
(I, I, I)
And we think in sync like clockwork, oh, oh
Oh (I, I, I)
And our minds beat time like clockwork
(I, I, I)
And we think in sync like clockwork (I, I, I)
(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, 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, tick, tock, tick, tock, tick
Tock)
(Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock, tick
