Who am I and what will I do next? Can I spend time to watch? Can I spend time for less? If I stay in my old haunt with these ghosts all around Can I spend time to watch, can I spend time to drown? With these ghosts all around, we've been sitting here for days The silence is the loudest in my head since last May Even if we don't want to leave here today With these ghosts all around, we've been starring at for days With time, time, time ticking If I stay in my old haunt with these ghosts all around Can I spend time to watch, can I spend time to drown? In the belly of New York City, losing hour by each hour Chasing daytime into night, I follow darkness for a while Time, time, time is ticking Swimming with minnows, we learn to swim like the rest Hold your breath, watch the clock, stay in line, fold your hands Swimming with minnows, we learn to swim like the rest Hold your breath, watch the clock, stay in line, fold your hands With the time, time ticking With time ticking
