My turn this time," he says.

"Never get better than this,

we never get better than bad."

"My turn this time," he said.

"Now I can do what I want,

now I can walk away mad."

"Cause last time we tried," he said.

"We never get anywhere

We never solve anything."

"It's my turn this time," he said.

And sticks out his chin like a man

Sticks out his chin like a man

"My turn this time," they cried.

And everyone walks in a line

Around in a circle until they die

"My turn this time," they scream.

And diamonds and babies and cars...

Don't add up to anything

"My turn this time," she says.

"I wish we could talk a bit more,

just give me a little more time."

"My turn this time," she says.

"My children are growing up mad,

they never get anywhere."

This time she starts to cry

And everyone stares at the ground

Nobody says a word

"You get one chance each life," she sighs.

"And mine is just passing me by."

He walks out the door and she stares up at the ceiling

"My turn this time," they cry.

And everyone walks in a line

Around and around in a circle until they die

"My turn this time," they scream.

And diamonds and babies and cars...

Don't add up to anything, at all

"My turn this time," he says.

And he turns the radio on

And he turns the radio off

"My turn this time," she says.

And she laughs at herself

And she laughs at herself

And the sun goes down

And the sun comes up

and the sun goes down

and the sun comes up

and the sun goes down

and the sun comes up

and the sun goes down

and the sun comes up
