Ticking - Elton John (艾尔顿·约翰)
Written by：Elton John/Bernie Taupin
An extremely quiet child

They called you in your school
Report

He's always taken interest

In the subjects that he's taught

So what was it that brought
The squad car screaming
Up your drive

To notify your parents of the manner

In which you died

At saint patrick's every Sunday

Father fletcher heard your sins

Oh he's unconcerned with competition

He never cares to win

But blood stained a young hand
That never held a
Gun

And his parents never thought of him
As their troubled son

Now you'll never get to heaven
Mama said

Remember mama said

Ticking
Ticking
Grow up straight and true blue
Run along to bed

Hear it

Hear it ticking ticking

They had you holed up in a downtown bar

Screaming for a priest

Some gook said his brains just snapped

Then someone called the police

You'd knifed a negro waiter who had tried
To calm you down

Oh you'd pulled a gun and told them all
To lay still on the ground

Promising to hurt no one providing
They were still

A young man tried to make a break

With tear
Filled eyes you killed

You killed

That gun but felt so smooth and warm

Cradled in your palm

Oh your childhood cried out
In your head they mean
To do you harm

Don't ever ride on the devil's knee mama said

Remember mama said

Ticking ticking

Pay your penance well my child
Fear where angels tread

Hear it

Hear it ticking ticking

Within an hour the news had reached

The media machine

A male caucasian with a gun

Had gone berserk in queens

The area had been sealed off the kids
Sent home
From school

Fourteen people lying dead in a bar
They called the
Kicking mule

Oh they pleaded to your sanity

For the sake of
Those inside

Throw out your gun
Walk out slow just keep your
Hands held high

But they pumped you full of rifle shells as
You stepped out the door

Oh you danced in a death like a marionette
On the
Vengeance of the law

You've slept too long in silence

Mama said

Remember mama said

Ticking ticking

Crazy boy you'll only wind up with strange notions
In your head

Hear it

Hear it
Ticking ticking
