Ticks Songtext
von Vienna Ditto

Allegedly a masterpiece
The swollen belly of the beast
Never rest until you cease
And you′re not welcome at the feast
A silly game that we all play
Through crooked slats and comes the day
We run and hide for safety's sake
And in the light, the vision breaks
Mirror, mirror, steal my face once more
I′m gonna have to tear you off the wall

Well, look at this, who could predict?
Stole your ambition and he claimed it all as his
Is it some trick there on his wrist?
He's got a clock that doesn't tock, it only ticks
It only tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, ticks
Stole your ambition and he claimed it all as his
It only tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, ticks
He′s got a clock that doesn′t tock, it only ticks


Oh, you are a one
You're the sum of what I want never to become
All thy queendom come
You′ve got them wrapped around your stubby little thumb
'Cause you never set a lover to catch a thief
Pretty rich from the poor and it beggars belief

Well, look at this, who could predict?
Stole your ambition and he claimed it all as his
Is it some trick there on his wrist?
He′s got a clock that doesn't tock, it only ticks
It only tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, ticks
Stole your ambition and he claimed it all as his
It only tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, ticks
He′s got a clock that doesn't tock, it only ticks

So if you want to ride shotgun, then please, just sign
If you want to hitch a lift on the devil's coat
If you want to roll deep, then it can′t be hid
Well, you best hang on while your fates are turning


Well, look at this, who could predict?
Stole your ambition and he claimed it all as his
Is it some trick there on his wrist?
He′s got a clock that doesn't tock, it only ticks
It only tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, ticks
Stole your ambition and he claimed it all as his
It only tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, ticks
He′s got a clock that doesn't tock, it only ticks
It only tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, ticks
Stole your ambition and he claimed it all as his
It only tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, ticks
He′s got a clock that doesn't tock, it only ticks
