Jeri got hired to work at a crappy cooking job but didn't go and wrote this song instead.
lyrics
I know it’s hard to let go
From the past you loved so
But like a ticking clock
It never stops
The rhythm of the world
There’s a city
In your country
By the sea, naturally
Can you hear it calling you, calling you?
Can you hear it calling you, calling you?
Can you feel it drawing you in?
When the party’s over
Will you kiss it goodnight?
Don’t believe the illusion
You’re prey for the ticking time
Oh, the game of time
Oh, ticking time
Oh, ticking time
A thought to remember
A thought to remember
You’ve got to believe
What your soul believes
And see how rare you are
Keep a clear vision
Trust in your decision
Realize, realize
Can you hear it calling you, calling you?
Can you hear it calling you, calling you?
Can you feel it drawing you in?
When the party’s over
Will you kiss it goodnight?
Don’t believe the illusion
You’re prey for the ticking time
Oh, the game of time
Oh, ticking time
Oh, ticking time
