Intro
Tick-tock, rockin’ round the clock, we spin that globe non-stop, Six-hour days, lava haze, Theia hit—BOOM! moon drop! Yo, this timeline tight, whole Earth in a night, From dust to us in twenty-four—let’s run that light! [Verse 1] – *00:00 to 05:53* Started from the stardust, now we here, that’s facts, Sun lit up, Earth packed hot wax. Rain came drippin’, oceans hittin’—steam turned wave, Volcanoes and comets, how the water behave. Life spark flickers, aminos in the soup, RNA looped—first cells in the group. Viruses vibin’, iron core spinnin’, Now a magnetic shield, that’s the planet’s linen.
Pre-chorus
Spin the hours, tick that phase, Billions of years in twenty-four days, Watch that clock, evolution plays— Every second built the maze.
Chorus
⏰ EARTH O’CLOCK—don’t stop that rock! From magma drops to TikTok talk. Say “Hey!” (HEY!)—learn the plot, Billions of years in a day—why not?! ⏰ EARTH O’CLOCK—timeline hot, From dinos to us, we connect that dot. Whole crowd chantin’, class unlock— We the seconds of the cosmic clock! [Verse 2] – *11:00 to 17:47* Cyanobacteria said “Yo, breathe deep!” Oxygen boomin’—life don’t sleep. Cells got bougie—nuclei chic, Team-up game: mitochondria peak. Multicell party, algae get naughty, Bangio-morph vibes—sexual body! Fungi slid in, nature remixin’, Now the gene pool got everyone fixin’.
Pre-chorus 2
Ice age froze—“Snowball, bro!” Whole Earth white but volcanoes blow. Thaw that beat, let the fossils grow, Cambrian drop—life steals the show!
Chorus
⏰ EARTH O’CLOCK—don’t stop that rock! From trilobite swag to shell-shock bop. Say “Hey!” (HEY!)—evolution talk, History jam, come walk that walk. ⏰ EARTH O’CLOCK—timeline hot, Fish got legs, yo, that’s the plot. Whole crowd chantin’, drop that shock— We the seconds of the cosmic clock! [Verse 3] – *22:16 to 23:59* Reptiles rollin’, Pangaea slam, Dinos reign—world went BAM! Birds took flight, flowers bloomed, Then asteroid came—sky went doomed. Mammals risin’, fur get shinin’, Primates flexin’, tools start grindin’. Australo walkin’, sapiens talkin’, Two seconds left—civil start rockin’.
Bridge
Stone to screen, torch to beam, AI dreams in the data stream. From cave fire to cyber choir, Human wire, still climbin’ higher. Tick-tick-tick—midnight near, Earth done danced four billion years!
Chorus
⏰ EARTH O’CLOCK—don’t stop that rock! Past to the present, we own that stock. Say “Hey!” (HEY!)—shout the doc, We’re just sparks in the Milky shock! ⏰ EARTH O’CLOCK—timeline locked, Spin that globe till the beat get shocked. Old heads, young ones, class unlock— We the seconds of the cosmic clock!
Outro
So when midnight drops, look up, don’t fear, You’re the newest tick in a four-billion-year sphere. From lava to lyrics, that’s Earth’s jam clear— Now clap to the clock, keep the planet in gear!
Inside the recording
Tick-tock, rockin’ round the clock, we spin that globe non-stop, Six-hour days, lava haze, Theia hit—BOOM! moon drop!
Spin the hours, tick that phase, Billions of years in twenty-four days,
So when midnight drops, look up, don’t fear, You’re the newest tick in a four-billion-year sphere.
