kobo town – tick tock goes the clock lyrics

[verse 1]
tick tock goes the clock on the wall
the knock on the door at the end of the hall
the key in the lock and then the crash of the [?]
and then the creak of the box cool, cool in the ground
tick tock goes the clock since the shock of the fall
since blood came out the rock and then the flood [?]
and again when the waters that rage we tame
we work for what was left will never be the same
tick tock goes the clock since the crime again
in vain we have tried to remove this strain
let us scale the heavens call down the rain
but in the end we were content to p-ss on the blame
so that smoke rushes on like steam from a spout
ashes coat the ground and choke the shout
and sea and salt cannot untie the cause
that bound the hands of [?] threw overboard
so deep beneath the noon day’s moonlight glow
far beneath the waves, bones nearly stone
are [?] to reside waiting to be raised
back up to the light on the last of days

[chorus]
still over the bent world with bright wings
moves a spirit that will [?] lift all things
moves stars and [?] span between
the whole expanse and the vast unseen
still over this bent world spirits sing
across the wasteland may the ‘hosannas’ ring
out in the darkness one crashes through
to remake all things new
to remake all things new
to remake all things new

(tick tock goes the clock)
tick tock goes the clock
tick tock goes the clock
tick tock

[verse 2]
tick tock goes the clock telling us the time
oh my, how the young ones are rushing by
and on the race they will not slow down the pace for us
no we must keep up the chase
so let us go there now, you and i
beneath the dome-shaped, steel-scr-ped sky
with unhurried feet let us walk the streets
look close take a note about your hair and see
let us start at the plaza where words are bounced around
confound the [?] of empty sounds
which falls a flash flood that verbs announce
leaving only pretense because all the sense is drowned
where words abstract are stacked
until black is white and white is black
or better yet, all is grey
like a cadaver where the life has bled away
let us go to the market where greed ensares
with red stares, stock shares, weights and [?]
roads lead unto anywhere
fortune, boom, bust, dust, doom, despair
[?] bell the hollow men yell
to buy, put holds, and sell
no right and wrong only means and ends
as long as the ends are dividends

[instrumental break]

[verse 3]
let us go by the light of an angry staff
althought the megaphones drone to the edge of a park
where the revolution howls like a wolf in the dark
can’t sleep from the deep, move swift like a shark
climbing up the scent to the belly exposed
and “flash!” [?] smashing and the jaws are closed
and the victim thrashes in his final throes
as the sea turns red as a rose
kingdom come, joined by the smell of the blood and chum
kingdom come, drunk on the drama of a martyrdom
when the bones picked clean until they gleam
[?] feed the frenzy of the new regime
cause the revolution always eats its own
it can’t slowdown the [?] and not uproot the throne

tick tock goes the clock
tick tock goes the clock
tick tock goes the clock
(mm-hmm, tick tock)

[verse 3]
tick tock goes the clock until the toll of the bell
breaks the spell, cracks open the world like a sh-ll
summons the dead [?] where they fell
between the bliss of heaven and the abyss of h-ll
this is the junction between joy and compunction
where the laws have effect and courts start to function
it’s the real, no higher court of appeal
the time to make plain, what had laid concealed
all revealed, too late to recant, to repeat, to repent
we had the time and now the time is spent
so, ever descending we all transcending
never-ending, whose reach is over all, extending
come to men, come to [?], come to blame, to reclaim
come to cast all down and raise it up again
this spirit full of love from above
is falling like a dove
like a flame, like a bomb
exploding, gentler than a breeze, more thunderous than a [?]
up over [?] when the kingdom comes

[outro]
(still over the bent world)
lift up your hands, you better lift them up high
(still over the bent world)
over the waters of the flood, to keep them all safe and dry
(still over the bent world)
over the rivers [?] run deep and wide, lift them up to the lord on high
(still over the bent world)
lift them up until the hours run out, [?] dance and shout
(still over the bent world)
[?] prance all about, until the hour when the hours run out
(still over the bent world)
until the hour when the hours run out
(still over the bent world)
until the hour when the hours run out
(still over the bent world)
until the hour when the hours run out
(still over the bent world)
until the hour when the hours run out
(still over the bent world)
