Tick Tock Goes the Clock


Tick Tock Tick Tock

On the bell tolls telling me of your end

Tick Tock Tick Tock

There’s never a way to escape the clock

Tick Tock Tick Tock

Once you might have been able to apologies and mend

Tick Tock Tick Tock

It’s time to make peace with your sins

 

Tick Tock Tick Tock

An enticingly hypnotic twirl accompanied by a disarming grin

Tick Tock Tick Tock

Such an easily pulled off plan

Tick Tock Tick Tock

No one ever would see this coming

Tick Tock Tick Tock

Step-Mother always said it was easy to trick a man

 

Tick Tock Tick Tock

Now the fun would really begin

Tick Tock Tick Tock

The fool didn’t stand a chance

Tick Tock Tick Tock

It was hard to believe anyone would miss the prince

Tick Tock Tick Tock

Glass slippers were helpful to have on hand

 

Tick Tock Tick Tock

Ah, there goes the bell

Tick Tock Tick Tock

The gardens shadows would hide the blood well

Tick Tock Tick Tock

He thinks he’s been doing the chasing

Tick Tock Tick Tock

Can you hear my heart racing?

 

Tick Tock Tick Tock

Just a little closer princeling

Tick Tock Tick Tock

Sweet, Sweet Revenge

Tick Tock Tick Tock

Everything was going according to plan

Tick Tock Tick Tock

How fitting that it would end where her mother’s legacy began

 

Tick Tock Tick Tock

Down goes the poor dying man

Tick Tock Tick Tock

Cinderella strikes again
