Waved goodbye on the other side
Then I said, «Hello, oh, don't you ever leave me.»
She crossed the room and she tried to hide
And she said, «I told you once why don't you believe me?»
And the pink light shined and knocked me blind
I said «Would you mind if I tried to make this easy?»
But she clenched her eyes and she rolled her fists
And she wondered out loud what it takes to please me.
I was halfway to the door
And in the street the band was playing just for me.
I once knew her like I knew me
Nobody could see how she could own me.
In her room I was petrified and I tried my best
To hide how she could use me.
In neon signs a hundred feet high
No doubt left forever she would want me.
And I was left in no such doubt
That in that one sweet moment she would haunt me.
And in my dreams and in my nightmares
The band was there playing just for me.
«I would die for you” she cried,»
I tried not to decide how I would leave her.
There was nothing left to tell myself
I wonder if I could believe her.
No time to hide, no time to lie,
No time to watch the world pass me by,
No time to grin, no time to choose,
No time to chase the ghost from my shoes,
No time to win, no time to bawl,
No time to creep and no time to crawl,
No time to sleep, no time to sin,
No time to lose and nothing to win.
No time for heroics, no time to feed,
Nothing to confess or to concede,
No time to save, no time for love,
Sex was a curse sent from above,
No time to cry, no time to explain,
Nothing to scream and no one to blame,
No time for silence, no time at all,
No time to fail and nowhere to fall.
No time to hide, no time to lie,
No time to watch the world pass me by,
No time to grin, no time to choose,
No time to chase the ghost from my shoes,
No time to sleep, no time to sin,
No time to lose and no time to win.
