Tick Tock (Live) Lyrics

Tick tock, tick tock

Tick tock, goes the clock

It's going tick tock, tick tock

Tick tock, goes the clock

Hey now, Old Man Death, he been a seen on my block

Looking up my name, checking out the clock

Cold dark wind blowing, smacked me in the face

Slowing me down in my life's race

It's going tick tock, tick tock

Tick tock, goes the clock

It's going tick tock, tick tock

Tick tock, goes the clock

Well now, Old Man Death, he come a knocking at my door

Sometimes he whispers, sometimes he roars

Poking at me, seeing if my sin's run its course

Old Man Death, come around a knocking at my door

He's going tick tock, tick tock

Tick tock, goes the clock

Tick tock, tick tock

Tick tock, goes the clock

Well, the Tax Man and him standing at the front of the line

Dividing up my spoils from my life in time

It's not up to me, seems like you never know when

Turn that corner, run a face to face with him

He's going tick tock, tick tock

Tick tock, goes the clock

It's going tick tock, tick tock

Tick tock, goes the clock

Well now, sometime he show up all subtle with charm

Dressed so fine now, he says, don't be alarmed

Just relax, he says, this won't hurt you a bit

I've been doing this for years

I got the hang of it

He's going tick tock, tick tock

Tick tock, goes the clock

He's going tick tock, tick tock

Tick tock, goes the clock

I've been looking in The Book, see what it says

It says, don't be afraid of Old Man Death

My Son will return at my appointed time

We're going to wrap him up and send him on down the line

He's going tick tock, tick tock

Tick tock, goes the clock

He's going tick tock, tick tock

Tick tock, goes the clock

It's going tick tock, tick tock

Tick tock, goes the clock

(Applause)
