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.

  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
