Oh, I feel like Alice in this wonderland. And oh oh oh, I sit and watch this clock just move his hands Thinking about when I was young and dumb Ponderin' on when life Was full and fun Wishin' that I could Go back to those days, I'd hop in the ride with doc and fly away Take time to smell the flowers But do not take an hour Cause you already wasted Twenty minutes in the shower Where did that time go? Where will this rhyme go? When all is said and done Man will the sun still shine though? Now, what am i supposed to be, A lawyer, doctor, scholar? Or just an emcee killin' time By making crowds holler We waste all our time on trying To get that dough together Money will come and go But yesterday is gone forever Tick tock tick tock The clock keeps turning And I know, I know That time is not a friend of mine And I know, i know His hands commit the cruelest crime Yea, he's a smooth criminal And oh how time flies by Oh, my watch is watching me And I feel like I cannot hide No I can never get away Forever chasing yesterday Deja vu is just the way That time keeps playing tricks on me As time goes by, times goes by Everyday it looks me in my eyes No matter how I try This time it's time, I can't deny It's stolen my hello's And quickly changed them to goodbye's They say it's time That takes your pain And sets you free And lets you fly So I don't know,, But I know it's got the best of me See my best is all that I can give And so I choose to live for Christ And spend my time with him The beginning and the end, So very close so far away Tomorrow, yesterday In His hands He holds eternity Tick tock tick tock The clock keeps turning And I know, I know That time is not a friend of mine And I know, i know His hands commit the cruelest crime Yea, he's a smooth criminal Oh how the time is winding down Got you thinking bout your life Stop running Oh, its got you now Don't let this pass you by Oh, I hope you've made something of yourself No? you better think about it Cause it goes as fast as it comes So you gotta know You gotta know who you are Wait, hold up just a minute This is somewhat important We've got this Holy Father But we're still living like orphans We hate to love each other And love to hate ourselves Time that we waste Can never be given to someone else You should not waste yours And do not waste mine Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock I'm trying to be a friend of time I don't know were I'm going But I know that I'm here The past was just my future There goes another year Tick tock tick tock The clock keeps turning And I know, I know That time is not a friend of mine And I know, i know His hands commit the cruelest crime Yea, he's a smooth criminal Tick tock tick tock The clock keeps turning And I know, I know That time is not a friend of mine And I know, i know His hands commit the cruelest crime Yea, he's a smooth criminal No matter what I do The clock keeps turning, baby No matter what I do The clock keeps turning, baby No matter what I do The clock keeps turning, baby
