Tic toc
Dj PA.K Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I’ve been aiming for the same old (ol’) goal forever
And I’ve been living on the same old faith getting closer
Flying above (‘bove) the lies and through the smiles
Beyond the rain and against all pain through the weather
Tic toc goes the clock, toc
Turning round in my empty mind and
Spinning round on its empty face and I’m forever trying to find time
Tic toc goes the clock, toc

As the time passes by on our faces Tic toc goes the clock, toc
It’s all the same if you’re an old man or younger
‘Cause you’re always trying to find time to stay longer
A cup of coffee or a dinner plate
Let’s find some time so I won’t be late
Tic toc goes the clock, toc
Turning round in my empty mind and
Spinning round on its empty face and I’m forever trying to find time

Tic toc goes the clock, toc
As the time passes by on our faces Tic toc goes the clock, toc
