Time

I found the Holy Bible on a bench outside the courthouse

And I am scared because I do not think of God, no no

The thoughts that cross my mind

Are neither holy, nor divine

Just simple human longings for the boy who does not believe

He once believed in me

So I walked on and stuffed that heavy new book under my arm

And then I got in my car and drove on home

I thought of words he said

'Bout where we're going once we're dead

But other worries fill my head

It's selfish and I know I'm wrong

But I'll miss him when he's gone

Yeah I still fear the black

But there's no looking back

And if I'm dying, I'm just dying for you, dear

Can't tell which way to go

I doubt we'll ever know

Let's take advantage of the time that we've got here

'Cause time's all we've got here

I made it home, unlocked the door, and tossed that book onto the floor

Where it sat waiting like I'm waiting for the truth, so

I put it in a box under my bed, with all those silly things I've kept

And I will leave it there unread, so I can get back to

Figuring out how I'll get through today and tomorrow

Yeah I still fear the black

But there's no looking back

And if I'm dying, I'm just dying for you, dear

Can't tell which way to go

I doubt we'll ever know

Let's take advantage of the time that we've got here

'Cause time's all we've got here

And if it's just gonna end, what's the point of it all?

Call it quits, cut out early, this is surely your fault

When I fall back to you, I am through, I am through

Oh but I do...I do...

Yeah I still fear the black

But there's no lookin' back

And if I'm dying, I'm just dying for you, dear

Can't tell which way to go

I doubt we'll ever know

Let's take advantage of the time that we've got here

'Cause time's all we've got here
