Taking Your Life In Your Hands

Lyrics for Taking Your Life In Your Hands

Tok tick, the clock is running Tok tick, the clock is running Tok tick, the clock is running The children are all leaving school today Mama said, "Don't worry, I'll be back one day" The blue men in uniform smiled and waved goodbye She was hiding the tears in her eyes Threw it to myself Threw it to myself Roll up the history books, burn up the chairs Set fire to anything, set fire to the air They're hiding to begin and running at the end Mama said, "You take your life in your hands" Tok tick, the clock is running Tok tick, tok tick Taking your life, your life in your hands But don't take your life in your hands like I did I don't feel so bad and always look forward with hope Forward and hope, that the children will always be there Always be there (safer) Always be there (safer) Cancel the day (day), cancel the night (night) Can't sell the day (day), can't sell the night 'Cause who could be watching, when she steals and runs away Full of hysterical laughter, and say Mama, mama I've left school today I hope I get to see you in that funny school far away But those gentlemen in blue and those in grey Say I'll never, ever see mama again 'Cause she took those lives in her hands She took all those lives in her hands (the clock is running) She took all those lives in her hands (the clock is running) But let me wonder, what was there left in those hands? Tok tick, tok tick Tok tick, tok tick Tok tick, tok tick Tok tick, tok tick
