It takes a long time to kill a man Fifty-five years at least Until he breaks down Starts to look underground To go off and get him some peace
I want to die a lot quicker than that If my it's my only way out I've been counting up the costs Getting up on that cross I want to know what this all about
Father Time Steals our days Like a thief There's no price that I wouldn't pay To get some relief I've become an empty shell Of a man I don't like so well I am a living, breathing hell, Come on and resurrect me
I tried to drown the pain with a friend of mine It didn't seem to help Ah she's got a pretty face With her wedding lace But I'm still waking up with myself
I know what it means to choke it down Up, down till your legs get weak I know what it's like on a Saturday night To be alone on a crowded street
Father Time Steals our days Like a thief There's no price that I haven't paid To get some relief I've become a shell of a man I can't begin to even understand Have I forgotten who I am? Come on and resurrect me
