The Matches - Got The Time Lyrics

The Matches Lyrics

"Got The Time"
(originally by Anthrax)

Wake up, I got another day to get,
Through now, I got another man to see
Gotta call him on the telephone ay-oh
Gotta find a piece of paper
Sit down, I got another letter to write,
Think hard, I gotta write a letter just right
Someone ringin' on the telephone ay-oh
Gotta write another letter

No such thing as tomorrow
All we want
Time, got the time tick tick tickin' in my head
Time, got the time tick tick tickin' in my head
Time, got the time tick tick tickin' in my head
Tickin' in my head, tickin' in my head, tickin' in my head

If I, told you what I'm doing today
Would you, shut up and get out of my way
Someone asked me what the time is, I don't know
All I know is I gotta go now
No time, time to get a watch repaired
No time, never got a thing to wear
Someone ringin' on the telephone ay-oh
Got a ringin' in my head now

No such thing as tomorrow
All we want
Time, got the time tick tick tickin' in my head
Time, got the time tick tick tickin' in my head
Time, got the time tick tick tickin' in my head
Tickin' in my head, tickin' in my head, tickin' in my head
No such thing as tomorrow
All we want
Time, got the time tick tick tickin' in my head
Time, got the time tick tick tickin' in my head
Time, got the time tick tick tickin' in my head
Tickin' in my head, tickin' in my head
Tickin' in my head!
