Nelson - The Silence Is Broken

Running Out Of Time Lyrics

by Nelson
Album: The Silence Is Broken (1997)



Johnny played the rebel - huntin for a cause
Sh-sh-sh-short fuse fused dynamite hungry for a spark - ooh yeah
His 9 mil. loaded with borrowed time
Bad boy swore he couldnt die
till he faced a man a little bit quicker on the draw

He tried to steal his destiny
He bragged of immortality
Now he aint that tough six feet deep

Chorus:
Short rides on the glory train
Through dead end streets of no escape
Lyin in the bed you made on a ship
That came in too late
Youre running out of time
Youre running out of time

Jenny came home from the ritzy side of town
D - drove her mommys benz -
Lived in daddys great big house - ooh yeah
She hawked her gold to feed the spike
A great escape on the pony ride
cuz mom and dad wouldnt let their little baby out

When china whites your lyin friend
Youve sold you soul when the party ends
And youre dancing blind on the razors edge

Chorus

You and me are victims of our blood
Haunted by the ghosts of who we loved
Our parents sing that same old song
Where the hell did we go wrong?
Just take a look in the mirror mom and dad!

Dont look back it burns your eyes
You cant win if you dont try
Only you control your life

Chorus

Dont you know youre runnin out of time?
Wake up! wake up! God dammit wake up!
Youre running out of time
Youre running out of time
Youre running out of time time time
