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
