Ticking - Elton John[00:00:00]

Written by：Elton John/Bernie Taupin[00:00:01]

An extremely quiet child[00:00:23]

They called you in your school[00:00:27]

Report[00:00:29]

He's always taken interest[00:00:35]

In the subjects that he's taught[00:00:38]

So what was it that brought[00:00:46]

The squad car screaming[00:00:48]

Up your drive[00:00:51]

To notify your parents of the manner[00:00:58]

In which you died[00:01:02]

At saint patrick's every Sunday[00:01:08]

Father fletcher heard your sins[00:01:13]

Oh he's unconcerned with competition[00:01:21]

He never cares to win[00:01:25]

But blood stained a young hand[00:01:32]

That never held a[00:01:36]

Gun[00:01:38]

And his parents never thought of him[00:01:43]

As their troubled son[00:01:47]

Now you'll never get to heaven[00:01:54]

Mama said[00:01:57]

Remember mama said[00:02:00]

Ticking[00:02:03]

Ticking[00:02:04]

Grow up straight and true blue[00:02:06]

Run along to bed[00:02:08]

Hear it[00:02:11]

Hear it ticking ticking[00:02:14]

They had you holed up in a downtown bar[00:02:28]

Screaming for a priest[00:02:33]

Some gook said his brains just snapped[00:02:39]

Then someone called the police[00:02:44]

You'd knifed a negro waiter who had tried[00:02:51]

To calm you down[00:02:54]

Oh you'd pulled a gun and told them all[00:03:01]

To lay still on the ground[00:03:05]

Promising to hurt no one providing[00:03:13]

They were still[00:03:18]

A young man tried to make a break[00:03:25]

With tear[00:03:28]

Filled eyes you killed[00:03:29]

You killed[00:03:33]

That gun but felt so smooth and warm[00:03:36]

Cradled in your palm[00:03:40]

Oh your childhood cried out[00:03:46]

In your head they mean[00:03:48]

To do you harm[00:03:51]

Don't ever ride on the devil's knee mama said[00:03:58]

Remember mama said[00:04:03]

Ticking ticking[00:04:06]

Pay your penance well my child[00:04:09]

Fear where angels tread[00:04:12]

Hear it[00:04:14]

Hear it ticking ticking[00:04:17]

Within an hour the news had reached[00:04:31]

The media machine[00:04:36]

A male caucasian with a gun[00:04:42]

Had gone berserk in queens[00:04:47]

The area had been sealed off the kids[00:04:53]

Sent home[00:04:57]

From school[00:04:59]

Fourteen people lying dead in a bar[00:05:05]

They called the[00:05:08]

Kicking mule[00:05:10]

Oh they pleaded to your sanity[00:05:15]

For the sake of[00:05:20]

Those inside[00:05:21]

Throw out your gun[00:05:27]

Walk out slow just keep your[00:05:28]

Hands held high[00:05:32]

But they pumped you full of rifle shells as[00:05:37]

You stepped out the door[00:05:41]

Oh you danced in a death like a marionette[00:05:49]

On the[00:05:52]

Vengeance of the law[00:05:53]

You've slept too long in silence[00:06:00]

Mama said[00:06:03]

Remember mama said[00:06:05]

Ticking ticking[00:06:08]

Crazy boy you'll only wind up with strange notions[00:06:11]

In your head[00:06:14]

Hear it[00:06:16]

Hear it[00:06:19]

Ticking ticking[00:06:21]
