Tick tock tick tock
The clock ticks in my head
For every waking moment
That I lie in my bed

Maybe I’m just tired
There is no clock around
Sleep is all I need
But there’s that ticking sound

Tick tock tick tock
I hear the clock all night
Another school day is approaching
Filling me up with fright

The ticking is intense
I hear it calling my name
I feel it creeping up on me
But serenity is my aim

Tick tock tick tock
I feel it’s getting late
My eyes are still wide open
It’s close to the changing date

I feel it getting closer
It irritates and haunts
School is around the corner
But silence is all I want

Tick tock tick tock
I hear the screeching of the chalk
School is the main threat
Not the ticking of the clock
