All he ever wanted was to skip across the water      Tick tock the clock is getting faster      Vicariously   Lives through the dusty   Pebbles while thrusting   Them onto the pond   So very trusting   Betting the calm is strong   And won't let them drown   He's got to swallow his pride   He followed horrible advice   And hollowed his account   With a roll of the dice twice   Now the market's a rollercoaster ride   He's back to the beginning   With no retirement in sight      Tick tock the clock is getting faster   Can't sit back   And watch the world move backwards   He's got to be moving forwards   He's got to be moving faster      Today he's older   Tomorrow he's older than today   He's got to get bolder before he's older   And throws his life away   Those damn revelations   Running around his head   Increasing frustration   And motivation   Look he's scared to death   He's got to do something today   Before the terrorists start attacking   Before foreign policy instigates another Iraqi   With a suitcase who wants to blow himself up for Allah   Better to die chasing a dream than regret not trying at all      Tick tock the clock is getting faster   Can't sit back   And watch the world move backwards   He's got to be moving forwards   He's got to be moving faster      Passes time to forget time is passing him by   Tick tock the clock is getting faster   Can't sit back   And watch the world move backwards   He's got to be moving forwards   He's got to be moving faster   Tick tock the clock is getting faster
