Mono Inc. - The Clock Ticks On Lyrics

You didn't even scratch the surface
You wasted time and scratched your head
And now you get a little nervous
You count five, or count ten or count twenty
But it's over then

How long, how long
How long can one life last?
How long, how long
How long until we're past?
How long, how long how long and time goes by
How long, how long, how long?
The clock ticks on

You spent your lifetime on a trap door
You didn't miss to risk it all
And as you wonder what you're here for
You count six, or count twelve
Or count twenty-four so pinch yourself

How long, how long
How long can one life last?
(How long can one life last)
How long, how long
How long until we're past?
(How long until we're past?)
How long, how long how long and time goes by
(How long as time goes by?)
How long, how long, how long?
The clock ticks on

How long, how long
How long can one life last?
How long, how long
How long until we're past?
How long, how long how long and time goes by
How long, how long, how long? (How long?)

The clock ticks on the clock ticks on
The clock ticks on the clock ticks on
The clock ticks on
