Tick Tock is the opening track and first single from NeRV's second album Spirit, due for release in May 2019

lyrics

Tick Tock time’s ticking away
And you never once knew a burden
Like Louis in Versaille
You had a bomb but you still were hurting
Here begineth the lesson today
Take a sip from your overfull cup
Cause Tick Tock time’s ticking away
And you never know when your chit’s up

Tiii– i-i--ime
Tiii–i-i-ime
Tiii–i-ii-ime
Is ticking away

Big brother back in the land
With a shot glass, hot ass, too fast
Big bully bird in command
Just waiting for the fire to burn grass
Little brother in a tin can van
Chuck a board and a beat and a bird in
One good bird in the hand
Is better than a hundred hurtin’

Middle brother is a little tin man
Pick a heart for the part you’ve gotta play
Big bower bird back in the band
Sorry baby I’ll be back here one day
