Time, time is my enemy
He steals my lover from me
And then he laughs while he sets up siege
On my friends and my family
Time, time is my enemy
He steals my lover from me
And then he laughs while he sets up siege
On my friends and my family

Tick tick go the vampire clocks
Tick tick go the vampire clocks
Tick tick go the vampire clocks
Tick tick go the vampire clocks

He's at the station, looking down at me
He throws me sex and drugs and bad TV
Until I'm left with jealousy
Or sucking at his breats lovingly

I give in, give up, give him back his cup
Say sorry for my words its the shushing that worked
And I'm left with just the tears of my lover
And the corpses of others and then I scream
My lover and me, oh it's all I need
And oh lover, it's forever and whatever

Time, time reaches for his gun,
Puts it back and tells me I've won
but he laughs because he thinks it's fun
And asks me what the hell I've fucking dome

Tick tick go the vampire clocks
Tick tick go the vampire clocks
Tick tick go the vampire clocks
Tick tick go the vampire clocks

All these years and then he mocks
And tickety tick got the grandfather clocks
Well there's no rest here he says
Like the ghost whispering in my ear

I give in, give up, give him back his cup
Say sorry for my words its the shushing that worked
And I'm left with just the tears of my lover
And the corpses of others and then I scream
My lover and me, oh it's all I need
My lover and me, oh it's all I need
And oh lover, it's forever and whatever
And oh lover, it's forever and whatever
