Running The Clock

[Instrumental Intro] [Guitar Lead] [Verse] The clock's face glares at me, With disappointment, Another second wasted, Another minute done, Another hour gone, Where did my time go? ...Did I have the time at all? [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Oh, the time keeps, Ticking away, (tick, tick, tick, tick), And I try, oh I try, To make, Every grain count, But the clocks, Oh they mock me, Cause the sand is, Always, always slipping, Away, (tick, tick, tick, tick) [Interlude] [Verse] ...What is, Time, anyways? Does it matter, Anyway, When yesterday is the same, As today..? When sleep is tireless, But never gives rest, When day is night and night is day, Who can tell how much time's spent, Wasted away, Anyway? [Bridge] Time stops for no one, no, (tick, tick, tick, tick) Time can never flow back, no, Time is a luxury, time is a resource, ...And this body's got me locked in decay, As the grains slip away, [Breakdown] [Chorus] Oh, the time keeps, Ticking away, (tick, tick, tick, tick), And I try, oh I try, To make every, Grain count, But the clocks, Oh they mock me, Cause the sand is, Always, always slipping, [Refrain] I'm tired, oh so tired (tick, tick, tick) The hourglass is cracked, And the grains keep slipping, Slipping, slipping.... [Outro]
