Time Keeps Ticking

Time keeps ticking

The bar is closed, thoughts are wide open

And the past is in the present, the future's in the desert

Your thoughts are worn, gears are slipping

You wanna pass go and just grab a token

Like running thru the mud, can't outrun the sun

Tick, tick, tick, tick, the time keeps slipping

The beat goes on but the groove is missing

Nothing's here, it's almost there, but I can't put my finger on it

It's subsonic, stronger than a gin and tonic

Too many questions and not enough breath

Ain't no doubt about it, you can't always solve it

Middle of the sea, darkest night, down 1000 feet

That's where I am tonight
