Testo di The World's Clock

Tick tock, the world has a clock And it doesn't tell the time it gives a warning The hands moved facelessly Spinning in circles I pretended not to see Every time the same number appeared I laughed and kept going without understanding Three in the morning, three times in a row The same dream knocking at the door I'd wake up sweating, screaming inside But in the morning I'd pretend the night was over How many warnings can a life hold Before the clock stops warning me The world's clock ticking without hurry Marking the time I refused to hear Each turn, a warning I ignored Each hour, a chance to escape I saw the hands, I saw them and didn't believe And time collected it all in the end The dream always ended the same way A door closing in the distance I'd wake up and go through the routine As if the warning were just a trance The world's clock ticking without hurry Marking the time I refused to hear Every turn, a warning I ignored Every hour, a chance to escape I saw the hands, I saw them but didn't believe And time collected everything in the end Beat, beat, the drum of time Beat, beat, I didn't listen Beat, beat, it was so clear And I called what was the law fear The world's clock ticking without hurry Marking the time I refused to hear Each turn, an ignored warning Each hour, a chance to escape I saw the hands, I saw them and didn't believe it And time collected it all in the end Tick tock, the world has a clock And it doesn't tell the time it gives warnings
