00:10I hear that clock a-tickin', keepin' time like a thief
00:20Each second falls behind me like a leaf brushed by grief
00:34I sit and watch the head spin while dreams fade away
00:40I've got no more time to borrow, feels like I'm led astray
00:52In a weathered bar in Sydney, with a long neck by my side
01:01That clock keeps on tickin', takin' my time for a ride
01:16Take it away, take it away, every day
01:20Can't seem to grab my moments, they slip and sway
01:22Dancing shadows on the wall, who knew love was true
01:25Watching that old clock tick my life away
01:39I'm breakin' my back, just workin' sunup to sundown
01:49Pourin' my soul in every pint in this small-town grind
01:57Time circle stares back at me, no one's got the key
02:06To unlock all my dreams, just tickin' like a curse, you see
02:21Oh, tickin' away, tickin' away, every day
02:24Can't seem to grab my moments, they slip and sway
02:27Dancing shadows on the wall, who knew love could pay
02:30Watching that old clock tick my life away
02:38So let's raise a glass to freedom
02:41And sing it loud and clear
02:43Every moment we hold close, let's throw away that fear
02:49Tickin' days and sleepless nights
02:52They weigh on your soul
02:55So grab a heart, make it sing, let it roll and roll
03:05Oh, tickin' away, tickin' away, every day
03:14Can't seem to grab my moments, they slip and sway
03:16Dancing shadows on the wall, who knew love could stray
03:19Watching that old clock tick my life away
03:27So I'll keep right on livin', won't let time steal my song
03:36With every tick of that clock, I'll prove them all wrong
03:43Life might just be tickin', but I got plans to stay
03:51Even if I'm watching that clock tick my life away
04:09Ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
04:15Ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
04:21Ooh, ooh, ooh
04:27Ooh, ooh, ooh
04:31Ooh, ooh, ooh
04:49Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
