I'm ticking
I'm checking for a watch
But there is none
The plot is thickening
Perhaps it's a cartoon bomb
With red sticks and an alarm clock
The thought is sickening
Is it the titanium valve in my heart?
No, I don't have one of those
My pulse is quickening
What is that noise
Perhaps my teeth as I eat clicking
That would be so fattening
It's growing louder
I put my fingers in my ears
It's almost deafening
I feel hotter too
Is the heat on in here
My forehead is glistening
Suddenly it gets slower
Something is changing
It's tempo is lengthening
Things seem calmer now
I feel safe
It doesn't seem so threatening
Almost all at once
I can sort of see what I need
I'm having a moment of enlightening
I hear a snap
My eyes flutter open
I am awakening
My doctor stops the metronome
