The clock is tickin'
And I'm not stickin' around
The wall has writing
It's burning to the ground
Searching and searching
There's something to be found
The clock is tickin'
And I'm not stickin' around
No one knows where it has gone
It fell through the cracks
I did mine, now you do yours
But you can't buy it back
Watch, waste, or find, but time's a wasting in this big top
Do, make, or bide
But time's a wastin'
The clock is tickin'
And I'm not stickin' around
The wall has writing
It's burning to the ground
Searching and searching
There's something to be found
The clock is tickin'
And I'm not stickin' around
And I'm not stickin' around
I've painted so many smiles
Forgetting which one was mine
I'll pick my favorite one
And see what else I can find
They may have gotten me by
But this one's showing some teeth
Leave the others behind
Watch, waste, or find, but time's a wasting in this big top
Do, make, or bide
But time's a wastin'
The clock is tickin'
And I'm not stickin' around
The wall has writing
It's burning to the ground
Searching and searching
There's something to be found
The clock is tickin'
And I'm not stickin'
The clock is tickin'
And I'm not stickin' around
The wall has writing
It's burning
Searching and searching
There's something to be found
The clock is tickin'
And I'm not stickin'
The clock is tickin'
And I'm not stickin' around
The wall has writing
And it's burning burning
Searching and searching
There's something to be found
The clock is tickin'
And I'm not stickin' around
The clock is tickin'
And I'm not stickin' around
The wall has writing
And it's burning burning
Searching and searching
There's something to be found
The clock is tickin'
And I'm not stickin' around
