[Intro] Doo doo doo doo doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo doo doo Doo doo doo doo doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo doo doo [Verse 1] Clock on the wall keeps talkin’ in a low tone, tick-tick-tick in my ear like a warning, slow burn Seen a lot of faces fade into the night sky, pictures in a shoebox, stories that will not return Laughs in the alley now echoes in my mind, every little heartbeat feelin’ like a lesson I learn Friends that I ran with, names on a headstone, I’m countin’ every breath like a man waitin’ on his turn [Chorus] Second hand’s last spin, when you gonna come for me? (oh, oh) I been runnin’ on this time so long I can barely see (barely see) When that clockwise river gonna pull me under the rim? I’m comin’ to grips with the moment when the light grows dim Second hand’s last spin, whisperin’ over my skin [Verse 2] Mirror in the hallway showin’ me a strange man, lines round my eyes where the midnight used to shine bright Dance floors and dive bars, thought we were immortal, now I pour a little out for the ones lost to the fight Every little backbeat sounds like a heartbeat, wonder if the drummer gonna stop in the middle of the song Try to keep my cool while I look at the roll call, askin’ why I’m stayin’ when so many already gone [Chorus] Second hand’s last spin, when you gonna call my name? (call my name) Will it hit me like a break in the groove or a slow fade same? (slow fade same) Every little tick-tock feelin’ like a roll of the dice I’m comin’ to grips with the price you pay for livin’ this life Second hand’s last spin, cuttin’ its circle so thin [Bridge] I don’t wanna say goodbye, not ready to cross that line (no, no) I been walkin’ down this road hopin’ for a little more time If the door swings open and the shadows pull me through Will the music keep on playin’ when I’m done and I’m through? [Sax Solo] (Instrumental saxophone melody over the bridge groove, echoing the fear and hope in the vocal line) [Chorus] Second hand’s last spin, hangin’ like a cloud above (cloud above) I’m reachin’ for another sunrise, another touch of love (touch of love) When that final downbeat falls and the lights grow low I’m comin’ to grips but a part of me don’t wanna go Second hand’s last spin, round and around again [Outro] Doo doo doo doo doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo doo doo Doo doo doo doo doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo doo doo
