Metronome

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
