"The Warning (Nine Inch Noize Version)" lyrics - NINE INCH NAILS

Some say it was a warning
Some say it was a sign
Well, I was standing right there
When it came down from the sky (sky, sky, sky, sky, sky)
The way it spoke to us
You felt it from inside
Said it was up to us
Up to us to decide
"You've become a virus-s-s-s
That's killing off its host
We've been watching you with all of our eyes
What you seem to value most

So much potential
Or so we used to say
Well, your greed, self-importance and your arrogance
Piss it all away
We heard her cry (cry, cry, cry...)
And we've come to intervene
You will change your ways and you will make amends
Or we will wipe this place clean"
(Hey!)

[Bridge:]
Your time is tick-tick-ticking away
Your time is tick-tick-ticking away
(...wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-way)
(Ah-hah!)
Your time is ticking, ticking, ticking, ticking
Ticking, ticking, ticking, ticking-ing-ah-ah
Your time is tick-tick-ticking away
Ticking away (Oh...)
(Ticking, ticking...)
Ticking away
(Ticking, ticking...)

[Outro:]
Ticking away! (Away, away, away, away...)
Ticking away! (Away, away, away, away...)
Ticking, ticking, ticking, ticking, ticking, ticking, ticking, ticking, ticking, ticking, ticking, ticking, ticking, ticking
Ticking away (away, away...)
Your time is tick-tick-ticking away
