There's no time to kill between the cradle and the grave |
|
Father time still takes a toll on every minute that you save |
|
Legal tender's never gonna change the number on your days |
|
The highest cost of livin's dyin', that's one everybody pays |
|
So have it spent before you get the bill, there's no time to kill |
|
If we'd known ten years ago today would be ten years from now |
|
Would we spend tomorrow's yesterdays and make it last somehow |
|
Or lead the cheers in someone else's game and never learn to play |
|
And see the rules of thumb are all the same that measure every day |
|
The grass is green on both sides of the hill, there's no time to kill |
|
No time to kill, even i've said it and probably always will |
|
But i can look ahead and see that time ain't standin' still |
|
No time to kill but time to change the kind of hurry i've been in |
|
And quit this work and worry lookin' back at where i've been |
|
If you don't look ahead nobody will, there's no time to kill |
|
If we had an hour glass to watch each one go by |
|
Or a bell to mark each one to pass, we'd see just how they fly |
|
Would we escalate the value to be worth its weight in gold |
|
Or would we never know the fortunes that we had 'til we grow old |
|
And do we just keep killin' time until there's no time to kill |
|
Repeat chorus twice |
|
No time to kill |
|
No time to kill |
|
No time to kill |
