[Intro: clockwork tick, pitch-bent chimes] (twelve... thirteen!) [Verse: playful rapid sing-rap] They schedule every minute, color-code the day But I find hidden evenings tucked along the way A midnight made for dancing in a grocery-store aisle An extra hour for an unexpected smile [Pre-Chorus: cascading harmonies] They swear the dial is all there is I hear another number click [Chorus: soaring ascending hook] I'm the thirteenth hour on the clock A little more wonder than the world can count If I don't fit inside their time I'll make a minute that's entirely mine (tick-tock, tick-TA!) Let the ordinary hands stand still I've got impossible hours to fill [Drop: stuttered ticks, 808 slides] (thirteen-thirteen) (woo-ah!) [Outro: clock chimes] Too much life for twelve.
