Take Five

歌詞

Sixteen born and sixteen died Should I laugh? I could have cried I'm no saver and I'm no lie This is the art of staying alive Alive and I'm tired Of telling time Take five Going down and I'm in doubt There's so much of this about We, the heroes, wonder why This is the art of staying alive Alive and I'm tired Of telling time Take five Find the lady, find her crown Ask her just what is allowed There's only so much I can buy This is the art of staying alive Alive and I'm tired Of telling time Take five God got up so early, so he missed the crowd Saw me playing dirty while a guest in his house Asked me what the matter was, I swore that I lied Remember the art, remember the art of staying alive Alive and I'm tired Of telling time Take five I was on the phone to my mother's son I tell you, not my brother, but the other one He said, "There's a reason and it's good to cry" Remember the art, remember the art of staying alive Alive and I'm tired Of telling time Take five
