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 hourglass 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
