	Story Behind the Song Inspired by the Harlan Ellison story of the same name, it is a diatribe against the vagaries of time and the workaday world. Lyrics Tick Tock Man, sitting on a wall Lay another brick, its another day gone Counting out the minutes Counting out the hours Watching the years go by Check your schedule, punch the clock Live your life by the digital watch Listen to the ding dong Don't be late Or you'll answer to the Tick Tock Man Tick tock, eight o'clock Time to hit the sidewalk, day begins Don't miss the subway You've come a long way down Stopwatch, small talk In for a big shock, shut your mouth Man in the mezzanine Watching on a big screen Writing all your tin dreams down Got no future, got no past The hissing of the sand through the hourglass Time run slow And time run fast At the whim of the Tick Tock Man Clockwork mainspring mechanical mind Running so fast, running out of time Look behind the curtain And what do you find? The face of the Tick Tock Man
