Metronome Lyrics

Tick by tick, tock by tock, just like clock, worked to the bone

Tick by tick, tock by tock, just like clock, worked to the bone

Tick by tick, tock by tock, baby you're a metronome

I know you can have your pick, and I like the way you talk

Bite my nails down to the quick, let's sit down for a nice long walk

Let's tear the wall down brick by brick, stuck together like cheese and chalk

I'll be the carrot, you be the stick, I'll be the stem if you be the stalk

Running round in circles trying to find a home, baby you're a metronome

Running round in circles trying to find a home, baby you're a metronome

Tick by tick, tock by tock, just like clock, worked to the bone

Tick by tick, tock by tock, baby you're a metronome

Some say a heart is an oil slick, a rusty key and a busted lock

Stacks of bills, inches thick, open the door when you hear me knock

Is it healthy, is it sick, to hate the awe and love the shock?

I'll be the candle, you be the wick, I'll be the hard place, you be the rock

Looking back through doorways, one last glimpse of home, baby you're a metronome

Looking back through doorways, one last glimpse of home, baby you're a metronome

Tick by tick, tock by tock, just like clock, worked to the bone

Tick by tick, tock by tock, baby you're a metronome

Tick by tick, tock by tock, just like clock, worked to the bone

Tick by tick, tock by tock, baby you're a metronome

Baby you're a metronome
