Got our heels dug in 
But time is draggin' us toward 
The time when time won't matter anymore 
They say life is but a vapor 
Just a blip on a radar screen 
Not the dates on your tombstone 
But the dash in between 
There's just today, that's all we got 
There's just today, that's all we got 

Tick-tock, the past is locked 
The future's far away 
You can't go back, you can't hurry it up 
You gotta learn to live today 
Tick-tock, it's now o'clock 
The little hand is ours 
The second hand sweeps us around 
And the Big Hand has the power 
The Big Hand has the power 

Well am I livin' or am I dyin' 
Will the world get another day? 
I hear a baby cryin', and I pluck out another gray 
I'm always talkin' about a change 
But talkin's all I've done 
I'm gonna start tomorrow 
But tomorrow never comes 
There's just today, that's all we got 
There's just today, that's all we got 

Tick-tock, the past is locked 
The future's far away 
You can't go back, you can't hurry it up 
You gotta learn to live today 
Tick-tock, it's now o'clock 
The little hand is ours 
The second hand sweeps us around 
And the Big Hand has the power 
The Big Hand has the power 

Always runnin' late 
Don't procrastinate 
Leavin' in a hurry 
Life is rollin' on 
Give me just a second 
Wait another minute 
Sleep another hour 
See another day dawn 
Call you next week 
See you in a month 
Celebrate a season 
Now another year's gone 
Well there goes a decade, a century, millennium 
And here comes eternity, eternity, eternity 
Here comes eternity, eternity 
What's up with eternity? 

Tick-tock, the past is locked 
The future's far away 
You can't go back, you can't hurry it up 
You gotta learn to live today 
Tick-tock, it's now o'clock 
The little hand is ours 
The second hand sweeps us around 
And the Big Hand has the power 
The Big Hand has the power
