[Verse 1]
How long will you go for a ride on the carousel?
How long on the boulevard?
How long will you throw your money down a wishing well?
Long enough to make it seem so hard

[Chorus]
Tick, tick, tock to the rhythm of the clock
You moving so fast that you can't stop
Run, run, run, not having any fun
You're busy all the time from dusk till dawn
Talk, talk, talk, haven't you heard?
That there's more power in fewer words
You think you're sad and you're lonely too
There's a million other people out there just like you

[Verse 2]
How long will you live your dreams in a magazine?
How long on the telephone?
How long will you work till you lose your sanity?
Long enough till you come home

[Chorus]
Tick, tick, tock to the rhythm of the clock
You moving so fast that you can't stop
Run, run, run, not having any fun
You're busy all the time from dusk till dawn
Talk, talk, talk, haven't you heard?
That there's more power in fewer words
You think you're sad and you're lonely too
There's a million other people out there just like you
Just like you
[Bridge]
Come on friends, you know where you come from
We're writing a symphony
Throw away your worries, your tears and fears
Take a walk with me

[Chorus]
Tick, tick, tock to the rhythm of the clock
You moving so fast that you can't stop
Run, run, run, not having any fun
You're busy all the time from dusk till dawn
Talk, talk, talk, haven't you heard?
That there's more power in fewer words
You think you're sad and you're lonely too
There's a million other people out there just like you

[Outro]
Oh, oh, oh
Just like you
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Just like you
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Just like you
There's a million other people out there
