tick tock tick tock Time is up
you are tired because time makes you run
don't hold on, don't watch
the sand runs through your fingers
You feel young but life has made you old
you realize it every year on New Years Eve
I'm sorry but you are part of yesterday's youth
you can not see your cake anymore because of all the candles
you want to run around in nature because of the endless noise
Now you live in a row house because you are without a villa
the wild time is over; eyes are small, glasses large
Its beautiful while it lasts
but one isn't as old as one feels but is as old as one is
when you are young you believe everything is possible
20 is followed by 30 and 30 by what worries you
breath in deeply and you forget the time
Unaware for one moment and everything is over
because life passes by pretty fast in microsleep
you count the days until your next round number
you go on diets and workout
but time heals no wounds because time has gone to the dogs
tick tock tock tock time is up
you are tired because time makes you run
don't hold on, don't watch
the sand runs through your fingers
every river flows into a sea
let go, there is no reason to fight
everything glitters in bright light
ride the wave until the wave breaks
wake up from your hibernation
10 years packed colorfully in the blink of an eye
Success is on hung on walls in golden frames
and suddenly you're pushed through a park in a wheelchair by a Zivi
when the time comes your skin shrivels
and your body breaks out in little brown spots
don't worry, even if you run plainly through the garden
(even if) you see ghosts and call Petra, your daughter, suddenly Lara
Enjoy your life while dancing happily into your grave
Look around in Berlin while every grandma has a tramp stamp
I know you have so much more planned
but listen to this slow ticking in your ear
tick tock tick tock time is up
you are tired because time makes you run
don't hold on, don't watch
the sand runs through your fingers
every river flows into a sea
let go, there is no reason to fight
everything glitters in bright light
ride the wave until the wave breaks
