Time / Use the Man (Live)

歌詞

Father time, I'm running late I'm winding down, I'm growing tired Seconds drift into the night The clock just ticks till my time expires You were once my friend Now I know I can't tie your hands The days I saved I couldn't spend They fell like sand through the hourglass No time to lose, no time to choose Time taking time, it's taken mine Scenes of my life seem so unkind Time chasing time creeps up behind I can't run forever, and time waits for no one Not even me I heard somebody fixed today There was no last goodbyes to say His will to live ran out I heard somebody turned to dust Looking back at what he left A list of plans and photographs Songs that never will be sung These are the thinge he wont get done Ive seen the man use the needle, seen the needle use the man Ive seen them crawl from the cradle to the gutter on their hands The fight a war but its fatal, its so hard to understand Ive seen the man use the needle, seen the needle use that man Just one shot to say goodbye One last taste to mourn and cry Scores and shoots, the lights go dim Just one shot to do him in He hangs his head and wonders why Why the monkey only lies But pay the pauper, he did choose He hing his head inside the noose Ive seen the man use the needle, seen the needle use that man Ive seen them crawl from the cradle to the coffin on their hands They fight a war but its fatal, its so hard to understand Ive seen the man use the needle, seen the needle in his hand Cryptic writing on the wall, the beginning of the end Ive seen myself use the needle, seen the needle in my hand
