Ticks

Allegedly a masterpiece
The swollen belly of the beast
Never rest until you cease
And you’re not welcome at the feast
A silly game that we all play
Three crooked slaps it comes again
We run and hide for safety’s sake
And in the light the vision breaks
Mirror mirror, steal my face once more
I’m gonna have to tear you off the wall
Well look at this
Who could predict
Saw your ambition and he claimed it all as his
Is it som trick
There on his wrist
He’s got a clock, it dosn’t talk
It only ticks
It only tick tick tick tick tick tick ticks
Saw your ambition and he claimed it all as his
It only tick tick tick tick tick tick ticks
He’s got a clock, it doesn’t talk
It only ticks
Oh, you’re a one
You’re the sum of what I want, never to become
Oh, let queendom come
You’ve got them wrapped around your stubby little thumb
Cause you never sent a lover to catch a thief
Pretty rich from the poor man and beggar’s belief
Well look at this
Who could predict
Saw your ambition and he claimed it all as his
Is it some trick
There on his wrist
He’s got a clock, it doesn’t talk
It only ticks
It only tick tick tick tick tick tick ticks
Saw your ambition and he claimed it all as his
It only tick tick tick tick tick tick ticks
He’s got a clock, it doesn’t talk
It only ticks
So if you want to ride shotgun
Here’s your sign
If you want to hit a left on the devil’s coattails
If you want to roll deep, leave it all behind
Well you best hang on your painted toenails
Well look at this
Who could predict
Saw your ambition and he claimed it all as his
Is it some trick
There on his wrist
He’s got a clock, it doesn’t talk
It only ticks
It only tick tick tick tick tick tick ticks
Saw your ambition and he claimed it all as his
It only tick tick tick tick tick tick ticks
Is it some trick
There on his wrist
He’s got a clock, it doesn’t talk
It only ticks
