Lyrics

The Clock Is Tickin'
words & music by Joe Chinnici c2001

When you?re jazzing for some peace of mind
Take your worries and slide them between the lines
If you want to control your time
Forget your problems and turn them all into mine

Tell me everything is fine

The clock is tickin? ? the clock is tickin? ? the clock is tickin? (yeah, yeah, yeah)
The clock is tickin? ? the clock is tickin? ? it keeps on tickin? (whoa yeah, yeah, yeah)

Time ain?t waiting for no one at all
Not even you or any one who tries to ignore
And while it ticks, you can be sure
It won?t stop, no, no, not ever at all

Looking for that open door

The clock is tickin? ? the clock is tickin? ? the clock is tickin? (well it?s tickin? away)
The clock is tickin? ? the clock is tickin? ? it keeps on tickin? (tick, tick, tick, tick)

The party?s coming, It?s well on the way
It?s coming here, we?re seeing judgment day
The clock is tickin?, we?re gonna take a fall

We are gonna take a fall

The clock is tickin? ? the clock is tickin? ? the clock is tickin? (yeah, yeah, yeah)
The clock is tickin? ? the clock is tickin? ? it keeps on tickin? (whoa yeah, yeah, yeah)
The clock is tickin? ? the clock is tickin? ? the clock is tickin? (the clock is tickin? away)
The clock is tickin? ? the clock is tickin? ? it keeps on tickin? (tick, tick, tickin? away)
The clock is tickin? ? the clock is tickin? ? the clock is tickin? (mayhem & gibberish)
The clock is tickin? ? the clock is tickin? ? it keeps on tickin?
