Tick-a-Tock-Tick
The sounds of the day
Are clownishly fooling
And won’t go away -
A nightmare to follow
This minor delay -

Yes, it’s tick-a-tock-ticking
We’re all going away.
With a story to swallow -
When the old witch is flying -
On the edge of the moon

War is beginning
And it’s zoom-slugger-boom
Starlight is raging -
It's all over so soon.

War won’t go away -
Eternal night’s coming -
Just a four minute delay.
