what is making that annoying sound
when i'm peddling the bike?
ticking off each revolution
ti-tick ti-tick ti-tick
it can't be gotten rid of
at least it's not my body
it's in my head
ti-tick ti-tick dead
get it out, mechanical prick
like a factory worker's daily schtick
not a flapping of wings
or step by step stroll
ti-tick ti-tick ti-tick
my woman whose ragging
her monthly wages
turning men into monsters
and fools into sages
books full of pages
kept turning and learning
at least to conclusions
tick tick tick tick
Han water knows
it's better when it flows
