Last Call Blues

I DON'T OWN A WRISTWATCH
AIN'T NO CLOCK TICKING ON MY WALL
NEVER WORE A ROLEX
THERE'S NO TIMEX IN THE HALL
I JUST DON'T SEE THE SENSE OF TIMING
THAT FIRST DRINK TO LAST CALL

TICK TOCK TICK ANOTHER SECOND'S GONE
TICK TOCK TICK ANOTHER YEAR, COME ON
TICK TOCK TIME IS SLIPPING THROUGH YOUR HANDS
TICK TOCK DISAPPEARS LIKE RAIN IN SAND
YOU BETTER LOVE ME NOW OR NVER
LOVE AIN'T GOOD SECOND HAND

TIME FLYS ON WINGS OF LIGHTNING
AIN'T NO BODY GOING TO SLOW IT DOWN
LIFE PASSES BY IT'S FRIGHTNING
EVEN EINSTIN'S NOT AROUND
BY THE TIME YOU ADD LIFE UP
YOU'RE SUBTRACTING SIX FEET DOWN

TICK TOCK TICK ANOTHER MINUTE'S  GONE
TICK TOCK TICK ANOTHER YEAR COME ON
TICK TOCK TIME KEEPS SLIPPING THROUGH YOUR HANDS
TICK TOCK DISAPPEARS LIKE RAIN IN SAND
YOU BETTER LOVE ME NOW OR NEVER
LOVE SUCKS SECOND HAND

SO BABY QUIT YOUR CRYING
CAUSE YOU CAN'T HAVE MORE OF THIS
YEA BABY PLEASE STOP BAWLING
CAUSE YOU'VE HAD TOO MUCH OF THIS
SURE THERE'S PAIN IN WHAT YOU SUFFER
THE TRAGEDY'S IN WHAT YOU MISS

SO SET EM UP BARTENDER
CAUSE LAST CALL AIN'T NO THING
AND POUR ME ANOTHER
AND STOP ME IF I SING
YOU CAN TIME MOST EVERY ROUND
NO ONE HEARS THEIR LAST BELL RING

TICK TOCK TICK ANOTHER SECOND GONE
TICK TOCK TICK ANOTHER YEAR COME ON
TICK TOCK TIME IS SLIPPING THROUGH YOUR HAND
TICK TOCK DISAPPEARS LIKE RAIN IN SAND
KEEP IT WHILE WE'VE GOT IT
AND LOVE IT WHILE WE CAN
