Tick Tock
Tick tock, tick tock
The clock is screaming
My tears are sreaming
Is he here tonight?
Tick tock, tick tock
My eyes are darting
Panic starting
Is he here tonight?
Tick tock, tick tock
Her screams resounding
My heart, it's pounding
Is he here tonight?
Tick tock, tick tock
Is she bleeding?
I hear her pleading
Is he here tonight?
Tick tock, tick tock
The siren's blaring
The stars are staring
Is he here tonight?
Tick tock, tick tock,
All is silent
But the clock, so violent
Is he here tonight?
Tick tock, tick tock
The clock is screaming
Am I dreaming?
Is he here tonight?
