You didn't even scratch the surface
You wasted time and scratched your head
And now you get a little nervous
You count five, or count ten
Or count twenty
But it's over then
How long, how long
How long can one life last
How long, how long
How long until we're past
How long, how long
How long and time goes by
How long, how long, how long
The clock ticks on
You spent your lifetime on a trap door
You didn't miss to risk it all
And as you wonder what you're here for
You count six, or count twelve
Or count twenty-four
So pinch yourself
How long, how long
How long can one life last
How long, how long
How long until we're past
How long, how long
How long and time goes by
How long, how long, how long
The clock ticks on
