- Hello? Is this You?
- No, this is Me...
- Oh, okay, Me, I'm sorry...

Tapping the seconds out
My witchy twitchy sound
Of fingertips beating the drums,
Tippy-tip tips
Up on the play ground,
Tapping seconds out of a drum.

I'm waiting in the silence of a Day
Dressed in the gown of Night
Switched a button: Tap tap
It's light again...
Should I call?

Should I call?
Ask you: How you've been, dear?
How's life going...?
How was death's breath upon your skin felt?
How you doin'?

Tapping the seconds out
My witchy twitchy sound
Of fingertips beating the drums,
Tippy-tip tips
Up on the play ground,
Tapping seconds out of a drum.

- Hello, is this Me?
- No, it must be You...
- Me who?

Tapping the seconds out
Tip-Tap, tappy-tap Tap,
Clean as a whistle
My witchy twitchy sound
Of fingertips beating the drums,
Tippy-tip tips
Up on the play ground,
Tapping seconds out of a drum...
Sweet tweets
Speed peeps
Play ground tapping seconds out of a drum.
