Tick tok
The clock
In the hall
Is always running
Its been
Unlocked
Because it
Isn’t running
Time is long
But isn’t very cunning
So she waits
And she waits
Sometimes I hear
I hear her humming
She walked a million miles
Pacing through halls
Going through the years
Watching all the stars
As they came and went
She passed
Passed throught all the memories
Forgotten memories
I know
Inknow
What it’s like to be forgotten
Memories
I know
I know
What it’s like to be
Forgotten
Tick tok
The clock
In the hall
Is always running
Its been
Unlocked
Because it
Isn’t running
Time is long
But isn’t very cunning
So she waits
And she waits
Sometimes I hear
I hear her humming
She lived here
When everything was grand
When the beach in front of the manor had sand
She walked an alligator on a chain
And she danced and made love in the rain
But now
She’s stuck here
Going nowhere
Nowhere
But I know a thing or two
About going
going nowhere
I know
going nowhere
Too
Tick tok
The clock
In the hall
Is always running
Its been
Unlocked
Because it
Isn’t running
Time is long
But isn’t very cunning
So she waits
And she waits
Sometimes I hear
I hear her humming
Liner Notes
So I’m super late to this skirmish since I only saw it tonight, but it inspired this song, the song that is number 14. The theme was supernatural, and I started thinking about the ghosts in houses in New England (where I live) and what that must be like, how tedious, really, when they probably had exciting lives (to some degree at least) before they were trapped being ghosts. So this song is about that.
I like this demo more than I expected. I may refine lyrics on a future pass, and tighten up the verses, though I kind of like their musing quality…like what you say when nobody can hear you.
