Click Clock

Sudden stop,

 

Click clock walk.

 

Steeple chasers,

 

Prayer graspers,

 

Click clock,

 

No talk.

 

Stop, stop now.

 

It's click clock,

 

Church chime time.

 

Too soon for noon,

 

Too new,

 

She still knew,

 

It's too soon

 

For click clock,

 

Obey the chime time.

 

Restless in the pew,

 

The pitiful few,

 

Yearn to escape,

 

Learning is done,

 

It's time we're gone.

 

Click clock,

 

Begin the walk.

 

Chime, chime,

 

To stop.

 

Click clock.

 

Brain Drain

Rain,

 

Brain drain,

 

Countries crying

 

Puddles of tears.

 

Rain.

 

It's raining

 

The world over.

 

Knowledge leaking,

 

Now streaming,

 

Running

 

In the rain,

 

Away, far away.

 

Brain drain.

 

Cry

 

In the rain.
