What Makes You Tick

(album: How To Make Friends And Influence People - 1994)

I'll find out just what it is,
I'll find out what makes you tick tock tick tock,
I'll find out just what it is,
I'll find out what makes you tick tock tick tock.
You've got no chance of getting bored,
You've got our consciences to play with,
You've got the masses and the hordes,
Just waiting for you to tell them how to live.

I can take my time, take my time,
Take my time, take my time [x3]

I've got the time to take my time [x3]
I've got the time to...

I'll find out just what it is,
I'll find out what makes you tick tock tick tock.

You built your house on promised land,
You've got no chance of getting moved along,
You've got the whole world in your hands,
A million people trying to sing your song.

I can take my time, take my time,
Take my time, take my time [x3]

I've got the time to take my time [x3]
I've got the time to [x4]

I'll find out,
Take the time,

From now I'm never getting bored,
'Cos I've just stolen what they wouldn't give,
And now I'm happier than before,
With no-one showing me the way to,
Tick tock...
