Tickin' Away

(Lore Orion)



The clock above the bar

Is telling me it's 12:15

And it's not such a gentle reminder

That I'm where I shouldn't be



I just keep waiting for something to happen

Waiting for somebody to come walking in

Somebody as perfect as you were

So I can try it again



(But) Chances are so hard to come by

And the second one is impossible to find

The clock keep running

And the odds keep getting higher

That it's all just a fantasy of mine



But I shouldn't be thinking about it

I shouldn't be worried about it

It's just a clock on the wall

But it's ticking away

It's ticking away

It's ticking away

It's ticking away



I suppose I should cut all my losses

Go home with a six-pack of beer

There ain't nobody in the world like you baby

If there was, she wouldn't be coming in here



But I shouldn't be thinking about it

I shouldn't be worried about it

It's just a clock on the wall

But it's ticking away

It's ticking away

It's just a clock on the wall

But it's ticking away



Yeah, it's ticking away

It's ticking away

It's just a clock on the wall

But it's ticking away



I suppose I should cut all my losses

Go home with a six-pack of beer
