lyrics

Click click of the pen
Lick lick of the envelope
Whoosh whoosh of the doors
Revolving all day

Clack clack of the heels
Ring ring of the telephone
Scratch scratch of the pens
That know what to say

Hum hum of the fridge
Tick tock of the hours
Sip sip of the cup
Coffee or tea

Tap tap of the keys
Wilt wilt of the flower
Shine shine of the bulbs
In a fluorescent sea

Stretch stretch of the hands
Drum drum on the desk
Smack smack of the lips
From the kitchenette

Fold fold of the cash
Week weep that it's less
Take take me away
Far as I can get
