Tick! Tock! Tick! Tock! Does go the mocking clock A ticking clock? Is this all there is? Hours, minutes, seconds. Tick! Tock! Tick! Tock! Unknown to one when the mocking clock does stop It ticks...and tocks it does Like carefully timed laughter... Why does it jeer me so? ...Tick! tock! tick! tock! Oh ticks it does, that mocking clock Does it know what I do not? Is it ticking unknowingly Or is it just waiting to tire out? Tick! Tock! Tick! Tock! It counts down to my fall it does! Does it? All it does is mock. But what does it mock? What does it mock! Tick Tock, a maddening mock! Tick Tock, a maddening mock! Tick tock, a maddening mock! Tick...tock...a maddening mock... Tick. Tock. No more a mock.
