lyrics

Is there any way to have a conversation with
Death
About the time you think you’re drawing your last
Breath
Can you bargain with the author of the final act
Can you sign a deal in blood and make a binding pact
What are your options, what have you got left
When in the room walks death


Is there any way to have a conversation with
Father time
Can you get a little more, turn the clock from midnight
To just past nine
Can you figure out a way to make it all last forever
Is there a door you can open, push a button or a lever
Is there a magic word, or some type of line
When you’re dealing with time

Well death can’t be cheated and time can’t be bought
But you can do this
Treat every moment like the time that you got
Your first kiss
It won’t last forever but everything’s gotta end
Try a little less break and a little more bend
But hey what do I know, I’m just trying to make it rhyme
Dealing with death and time
