hands on the ticking tock

hands on the clicking clock

reach out like spider webs

guilty of armed robbery

do you see? do you see?

shove your face in the grass

take a breath, taste the dirt

it's only a matter of time they say

who says? who says?

heads bob like unmarked tombstones

hands raised with unquestioned answers

feet shuffle shuffle shuffle shuffle

all day, night, minute

tick tock click clock

tick tock click clock

like horses hooves on pavement

like pencil shavings on tile

who says that anymore?

who says who says?
