Time, time is my enemy He steals my lover from me And then he laughs while he sets up siege On my friends and my family Time, time is my enemy He steals my lover from me And then he laughs while he sets up siege On my friends and my family Tick tick go the vampire clocks Tick tick go the vampire clocks Tick tick go the vampire clocks Tick tick go the vampire clocks He's at the station, looking down at me He throws me s** and d** and bad TV Until I'm left with jealousy Or s**ing at his breasts lovingly I give in, give up, give him back his cup Say sorry for my words its the shushing that worked And I'm left with just the tears of my lover And the corpses of others and then I scream My lover and me, oh it's all I need And oh lover, it's forever and whatever
Time, time reaches for his gun, Puts it back and tells me I've won But he laughs because he thinks it's fun And asks me what the hell I've f**ing dome Tick tick go the vampire clocks Tick tick go the vampire clocks Tick tick go the vampire clocks Tick tick go the vampire clocks All these years and then he mocks And tickety tick got the grandfather clocks Well there's no rest here he says Like the ghost whispering in my ear I give in, give up, give him back his cup Say sorry for my words its the shushing that worked And I'm left with just the tears of my lover And the corpses of others and then I scream My lover and me, oh it's all I need My lover and me, oh it's all I need And oh lover, it's forever and whatever And oh lover, it's forever and whatever
