Tempus Fugit

I see the lights dimming and dial spinning, the clockbells chime
Now the hour is 13, we can not tell time
Time told me «Don't take long,"I told time to wait
Time said «Never for no man», and «There's no time to waste»
Now I’m on the clock grinding, what, you thought I stopped shining?
While you fall off and evaporate like waterdrops drying
Stop lying, your pop’s crying, the tiny violins
I told you once, if I told your ass, time and time again
The time to win is now, even if the pendulum snaps
And a can spinning around, I started so I will finish, proud
Clock’s ticking, trippin', I’m locking at my watch different
Lost minutes missing, drifting in and out of consiousnesses, this is
Y’all hear the tick-tock, the seconds are shaved off
I reckon they hate us for stepping our game up
The message is keep enemies close, cut the grass low
Tip a cup of swill, I feel like such a asshole
But the scene seems so jaded, my team finally made it
We just graduated in a class fascinated
My cap and gown glow, gamma rays hit
The paper, we buck 'em down slow, Strange fans keep the yapers
I write on the level, not quite like the devil
We rock, rollin' stone and y’all just some pebbles
I travel slow and step into the next stage
Cause he who hurries keeps one foot in the grave
