You don't pray to miss
What is next on the list
Have to think fast
What are you going to do now
It is a countdown
I got a lifespan
As long as my outstretched arms
Seen diseases
Seen disaster
No excuses
We must live forever
Pleasure pain or pride
Sacrifice of any kind
How do you really feel
Are you happy inside
Have you got a master plan
Not on the run like a con man
Think real smart now
It is a countdown
Policy Strategy
Good old story for me
I will listen to your every word
Try to do good to every one that I see
Should I see a soothsayer
Peer into a crystal ball
Or hide behind your shoulder
You should catch my fall
Can you stay calm and sober
Or you keep shaking
Like a leaf in the thunder
Till it is over
Or it is never over
Be careful now
It is a countdown
The hourgla** is in my hands
I could keep it steady
Or let it shatter into the future or the past
The moments of history
They really don't matter to me
Somebody ask why
Time is out of my grasp
It is moving me round and round
It is a countdown
