Boomtown Rats - Like Clockwork lyrics

Tick-tock tick-tock tick-tock.... I'm not disconnected, I'm not unaware I'm in one place at one time I'm neither here nor there I'm hooked to the mainstream, tuned into the world Plugged into my surroundings, not out on a limb I'm thinking in a straight line I'm thinking that these thoughts are mine My hear is beating oh so fast, I feel the hours crashing And my mind beats time like clockwork - ay ay ay And I think in sync like clockwork - ay ay ay Tick-tock tick-tock tick-tock.... She's done away with emotion She sees things clearly now She says she sees it all from her room And it looks so small from her room It's alright - it's alright - it's alright - it's alright I'm on your side for a while She thinks that time is a concept which we measure our age She wants to say it again but she don't have time Because her mind beats time like clockwork - ay ay ay And she thinks in sync like clockwork - ay ay ay Tick-tock tick-tock tick-tock.... Count the hours, count the months and minutes You're born in tears and you die in pain, that's your limit You're looking for some mainly reason but there's none there Why don't you admit it? We make the most of what we've got, that's the ticket My my my my my my I stayed in that room a long, long time And watched the seasons gliding by And hey, what's the matter? We've got time, lots of time It's alright - it's alright - it's alright - it's alright I'm on your side for a while We'll wind up, we'll slow down We'll speed up, move around Or we'll maybe overwind Because our minds beat time like clockwork - ay ay ay And we think in sync like clockwork - o o o And our minds beat time like clockwork - ay ay ay And we think in sync like clockwork - ay ay ay Tick-tock tick-tock tick-tock....
