The Circle


Around the world in 60 ticks Tick-tock, tick-tock You only have one life to live Tick-tock, tick-tock Walking through the long dark hall Tick-tock, tick-tock A destination you don't know Tick-tock, tick-tock Papers due; Bells ringing Tick-tock, tick-tock The never ending circle singing Don't stop. Don't stop. Liar, liar tells the truth Tick-tock, tick-tock Time expires. Nothing new. Tick-tock, tick-tock Such little hands, so much to do Tick-tock, tick-tock Blink. It's gone, over, through Tick-tock, tick-tock The circle finished; so did you Tick-tock, tick-tock Eternity just ended. Don't stop. Don't stop .STOP.
