Lyrics
Cracking The Whip
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well, you have always been too slow
And you have always been too late
You should have known oh so long ago
That your life is at stake
'Cause you never could keep up
And you never read the signs
Now you are turning dust to dust
You are running out of time
Cracking the whip
It's a new kind of pain
Cracking the whip
Don't try in vain
Well, you were always in despair
And it seems like you were born to lose
Now you are dying but no one cares
You're just a cannon on the loose
Look's like you missed the boat
And you didn't catch that train
Now you'r crying and trying, in vain
You just can't take the pain
Cracking the whip
It's a new kind of pain
Cracking the whip
Don't try in vain
