Listen late last night I heard my city's heartbeat
Going tick tick tick from the ocean floor
Like a great big bomb at the bottom of the sea
It goes tick tick tick
It's affecting me how it's affecting you
It sets the pace for all the stupid stuff that we do
Sometimes I feel like I've done something wrong
Like I'm falling behind while my city marches on
To the rhythm of a time bomb
Late last night I heard my city's heartbeat
Going tick tick tick from the ocean floor
Like a great big bomb at the bottom of the sea
It goes tick tick tick
It's a good life, but I'm not dying for this
I believe there's a better life that exists
Late last night I heard it ticking away
