The pedals to the metal 
Moving film has reached it's credits 
The grains of sand are campaigning 
to the hourglasses merits 
 
The metronome screams 
I can't keep up the pace!  
The turtle shouldn't even bother 
running in the race 
 
Where has it all gone?  
The tidal wave resounds 
Silent in the waiting 
Endless meadows underground
