(lyrics by Lorenzo Esposito e Paola Valandro)
Tick tock, watches from mirrors
softly show me their dial
trembling hours look like clowns
it's a fair spinning around
that's right, walking on tiptoe
searching time after time
what's the meaning, what's the meaning of life
what's the meaning, what's the meaning of my life
Clock holds a game
you want to play in vain:
he rises the stake
as he likes!
He beats the time introducing the fair
troubles are pretty white doves fished from top-hat
dancers and buskers repeat your own scene
you're on a merry-go-round that stops when you'll take leave
I've got to found how to defeat
this perverse device in me
but people around seems to enjoy
this mad party where they're moving like toys
Uh uh uh
don't forget the clock, no, don't forget the clock now
he's a wizard with the glass ball
and the future can be changed if he turns it upside down:
(can make the) winter and springtime
as he likes!
Let's clap hands while marching lined up
and giving the smiles out, circus can't be stopped
is that the meaning, is that the meaning of life?
is that the meaning, is that the meaning of life?
Come on follow the rhythm of the times
dancing with this clock locked into my mind
that's the meaning, that's the meaning of my life
that's the meaning, that's the meaning of my life
