Boomtown Rats - Like Clockwork Lyrics
Tick-tock tick-tock tick-tock ....I'm not disconnected, I'm not unawareI'm in one place at one timeI'm neither here nor thereI'm hooked to the mainstream, tuned into the worldPlugged into my surroundings, not out on a limbI'm thinking in a straight lineI'm thinking that these thoughts are mineMy hear is beating oh so fast, I feel the hours crashingAnd my mind beats time like clockwork - ay ay ayAnd I think in sync like clockwork - ay ay ayTick-tock tick-tock tick-tock ....She's done away with emotionShe sees things clearly nowShe says she sees it all from her roomAnd it looks so small from her roomIt's alright - it's alright - it's alright - it's alrightI'm on your side for a whileShe thinks that time is a concept which we measure our ageShe wants to say it again but she don't have timeBecause her mind beats time like clockwork - ay ay ayAnd she thinks in sync like clockwork - ay ay ayTick-tock tick-tock tick-tock ....Count the hours, count the months and minutesYou're born in tears and you die in pain, that's your limitYou're looking for some mainly reason but there's none thereWhy don't you admit it?We make the most of what we've got, that's the ticketMy my my my my myI stayed in that room a long, long timeAnd watched the seasons gliding byAnd hey, what's the matter? We've got time, lots of timeIt's alright - it's alright - it's alright - it's alrightI'm on your side for a whileWe'll wind up, we'll slow downWe'll speed up, move aroundOr we'll maybe overwindBecause our minds beat time like clockwork - ay ay ayAnd we think in sync like clockwork - o o oAnd our minds beat time like clockwork - ay ay ayAnd we think in sync like clockwork - ay ay ayTick-tock tick-tock tick-tock ....
