You said you invented the Ferris wheel
And I’ll be around for a long, long time
I’m sorry but that’s not how I feel
My clock it’s ticking and so am I
Well so am I – I am
I’m ticking
40 hours a week like a tourniquet
Systolically squeezing out my life
I know there’s a dream that’s up ahead
Where we’ll get into that car and drive
We’re gonna drive
We’re ticking
They say that there’s buried treasure here
Between the liquor and the night
You know – but you just don’t seem to care
It festers and so I’m alive – I am
I’m alive
And I’m ticking
Alive – I am
And I’m ticking
You say you invented the Ferris wheel
And I’ll be around for a long, long time
I’m sorry but that’s not how I feel
My clock it’s ticking and so am I
