Tickety, tockity kitchen clock goes You're not fooling me for one minute you know Casually melting cathedrals like snow Looking so coy Kingdoms and credos and liberty bells Around you like mouse gathers feathers and shells Little tin hats pulling empires down I'm onto you now You just smile at me Hopelessly set in our ways me and you You've got your pendulum, I've got my spoon I stir my coffee and you stir the moon Each morning at five All you have is me and all I have is time
