[Intro — Ticking Clock, Soft Piano] January. February. March. April... Every day has a number. Every number has a meaning. And every calendar... Has an ending. [Verse 1] Circle the date. Mark the page. Another year. Another stage. Birthdays. Holidays. Days of joy. Days of pain. You celebrate them. I remember them. Every moment. Every crime. Every pattern. Every time. Gotham thinks tomorrow Will always come. But tomorrow... Is only another date. [Pre-Chorus] Tick... Tock... The clock doesn't care. Tick... Tock... Your time is almost there. [Chorus] EVERY DAY HAS A DATE! EVERY DATE HAS A NAME! EVERY NAME HAS A STORY! EVERY STORY ENDS THE SAME! TURN THE PAGE! WATCH IT FALL! ONE MORE DAY! ONE MORE CALL! WHEN THE LAST PAGE TURNS... THERE'S NOTHING LEFT AT ALL! [Verse 2] Valentine's. Halloween. Christmas lights And blood-red scenes. The city dresses up And pretends everything is fine. But I know Gotham. I know its calendar. I know exactly When the city breaks. You think I'm obsessed? Perhaps. But obsession Requires patience. And I have all the time in the world. [Pre-Chorus — Whispered] Tomorrow. The day after. The day after that. How long do you think you have? [Chorus] EVERY DAY HAS A DATE! EVERY DATE HAS A NAME! EVERY NAME HAS A STORY! EVERY STORY ENDS THE SAME! TURN THE PAGE! WATCH IT FALL! ONE MORE DAY! ONE MORE CALL! WHEN THE LAST PAGE TURNS... THERE'S NOTHING LEFT AT ALL! [Bridge — Clock Slows] You want to know when your story ends? I could tell you. I already know. I've written it down. I've circled the date. [Silence] You just haven't reached it yet. [Clock Starts Again] Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. [Music Builds] The year is ending. The month is ending. The week is ending. The day... Is ending. [Breakdown — Rapid Clockwork Percussion] TURN THE PAGE! CROSS THE DATE! COUNT THE HOURS! SEAL YOUR FATE! TICK! TOCK! TICK! TOCK! THE CLOCK IS RUNNING! THE CLOCK WON'T STOP! ONE MORE SECOND! ONE MORE— [Clock Suddenly Stops] DAY. [Final Chorus — Massive] EVERY DAY HAS A DATE! EVERY DATE HAS A NAME! EVERY NAME HAS A STORY! EVERY STORY ENDS THE SAME! TURN THE PAGE! WATCH IT FALL! ONE MORE DAY! ONE MORE CALL! WHEN THE LAST PAGE TURNS... THERE'S NOTHING LEFT AT ALL! [Outro — Quiet Clock] January. February. March. April... And someday... Your calendar ends. Julian Day. Calendar Man.
