I woke up in an alley by my work Laying with my sins, my hair in the dirt I met a guy named Jack, he was my friend But Jim took me down in the end I keep ticking on I keep ticking on I keep ticking on I keep ticking on ♪ I'm tied up with a job I really hate Keep a smile, hold your black tray straight Get fired for dropping a glass of wine Screw 'em all, I'm running out of time I keep ticking on I keep ticking on I keep ticking on I keep ticking on ♪ I'm dancing with the devil by my grave Telling him decisions that I've made I feel my heart beat deep within my chest I'm back into the world I almost left I keep ticking on I keep ticking on I keep ticking on I keep ticking on I keep ticking on I keep ticking on I keep ticking on
