Tickin My Life Away

I've got so much to do

and so little time

all sortsa things clutter up my mind



tick tick tick tick tick tick tick o o o

the clock keeps tick tickin away

it's tick tickin my life away

it's drivin me insane

I said tick tick tick tick tick tick tick o o o

tick tick tick tick tick tick tick o o o



So much to comprehend

up until the end

So many things I don't understand



So many things I wanna try

I feel like I'm just getting by

I know I can do it if I set my mind to it



So many things I'm gonna do

I know now I can see it through

I'm gonna make it, got a chance and I'll take it



Band/Song version of original poem



I've got so much to do

and so little time

all sorta things just clutter up my mind

the clock keeps tickin away

it's drivin me insane

so much to comprehend

up until the end



tick tick tickin my life away

tick tick tickin

tick tick tickin my life away

tick tick tickin



so many things I wanna try

feel like I'm just a gettin by

i know i can do it

if i set my mind to it

so much to comprehend

up until the end



tick tick tickin my life away

tick tick tickin

tick tick tickin my life away

tick tick tickin



(bridge)



so many things I'm gonna do

I know now I can see it thru

I know I can make it

got a chance take it

so much to comprehend

up until the end



tick tick tickin my life away

tick tick tickin

tick tick tickin my life away

tick tick tickin

Author's Notes/Comments: 

another oldie turned into a song for the band in a little different format to fit the music...just put original and band version to compare, which do u like better? Pam
