Walk the street at night and think it’s all right
Dance until you freak and then it’s out of sight
Slither like the snake (but) you make your money right
You know talk is cheap
What does a dollar buy
A whisper and a peek
And so the day goes on
Another dollar earned
Another hundred in the bank
Another page is turned
In your life no turning back
Long gone are the days in the time when you were young
Just a baby girl freckles curls another world
What did your mother say grow up to be a star one day
Or did she cut you down cut you down cut you down
What did your father do on top of you it can’t be true
Climb up out of the hole
Where you keep your soul
Far away as now
So you just lost control
A smile and a wink
Oh god what should you think
…
I’ve looked at the clock and I’ve heard it say
Can you see time fly on the wings of the day
That is passing you by while you sit and you pray
For what’s better will come
What’s worse passed away
Has the sleep come too late
