lyrics

Tick tock a handful of clocks
Mama is singing and banging the pots
God don’t need to segment time but I do

Tick tock dandelion clocks
Play in the garden while tea’s keeping hot
God don’t keep your food warm boy but I will

Don’t cry baby, your mama is calling you home soon
Don’t cry baby, your mama is waiting at home
Don’t cry baby, your mama is calling you home soon
Don’t cry baby, your mama is always at home
Singing Tick tock

Tick tock mail-order shops
The windows are blind, the doors are all locked
God may like being omnipresent but I don’t

Tick tock ticking the box
Mama chimes in: Well it’s got to be clockwork
None of that quartz like standing a corpse on your sideboard

Don’t cry baby, your mama is calling you home soon
Don’t cry baby, your mama is waiting at home
Don’t cry baby, your mama is calling you home soon
Don’t cry baby, your mama is always at home
Singing Tick tock

Tick tock electrical shock
Mama’s brain cells snap crackle and pop
God don’t make his babies cry but he lied

Tick tock the clocks have all stopped
Mama’s forgotten to wind the things up
God don’t need his payback soon but I do

Don’t cry baby.....
Don’t cry, don’t cry....

Tick tock Jack in the box
Mama’s donated her favourite clock
God can’t make these things fall down but you can

Tick tock mail-order clock
All of a sudden Mama looks lost
God can kill his only son but I can’t

Come back baby.....
Don’t cry, don’t die.....
