Ticking Lyrics » Elton John
[Verse 1]
“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?
[Verse 2]
At St. 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
[Chorus]
“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
[Verse 3]
They had you holed up in a downtown bar screaming for a priest
Some gook said, “His brain’s 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
