You are young and there is time to kill today
you want try to run but you only can see the sinking sun
You are waiting for someone or something
you are looking for but no one will show you the way
You missed the starting gun

Refrain:
Ticking away the moments, ticking away dull days, okay
Ticking away the moments if you want find your way, okay

You are young climb the steps to start your race
Don't waste your time it's a simple way to achieve your aim
Gain eyperience and think about yourself
You are looking for the fire but there is only one candlelight
That's better than nothing

Refrain:
Ticking away the moments, ticking away dull days, okay
Ticking away the moments, don't dream the whole days through, okay
Ticking away the moments, take all your energy, okay

Ticking away the moments, ticking away dull days, okay
Ticking away the moments, take all your energy, okay

Gesprochen:
Okay! Learn to live your life and start your race
Get away - dull days
