Analysis of tick - tock
Tick - Tock
Tick Tock counts down the clock
like waves that crash
the time is rhythm in musical sound
a beat chimes out that sets the pace
Tick - Tock - Tick - Tock
Take a pause to listen
don't rush through those pacing seconds
everything happens in its own time and pace
the beat chimes on
Tick - Tock - Tick - Tock
We spend our time in quarel with life
Spend time in peace - not war
let time choose the one you love
then let your heart fly high
Tick - Tock - Tick - Tock
The young die old
the old die young
what to do with ourselves till then
watch the clock
