It's Nothing Like We Expected

In and out tick tick tick out of breath 
the clock does not stop ticking like a wound 
on the side of my mouth 
if doesn't heal and there's nothing we can do for 
the city still sorrounds us a great trap 
we're under a great one 
bow down to your kings 
time goes by and the clock ticks I tick 
I exist but someday the prey comes back and it bite 
"every damn thing rationed and not ine promise kept the guy was right we're under a gestapo" (john braine)
