Like Clockwork
Bob Geldof & The Boomtown Rats

Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock

Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock

Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock


Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock

Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, 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 heart is beating, oh so fast

I feel the hours crushing down


And my mind feels time like clockwork

And I think in sync like clockwork

Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock

Tick tock, 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

I'm on your side for a while

She thinks the time is a concept

Which we measure our age

She wants to say it again


But she don't have time


Because her mind keeps time like clockwork

And she thinks in sync like clockwork

Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock

Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock


Count the hours, count the months and minutes

You're born in the tears and you'll die in pain that's your limit

You're lookin' for some nasty reason

But there's no one there, why don't you admit?

We'll make the most of what we've got

That's the ticket, 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

I'm on your side for a while

We'll wind up, we'll slow down

We'll speed up, we'll go down

And we'll maybe overwind


Because my mind feel time like clockwork

And I think in sync like clockwork, oh, oh, oh

When the minds feel time like clockwork

Oh, we'll think in sync like clockwork


Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock

Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock

Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock

Tick tock, tick tock
