lyrics

I bolt up before dawn
Chunk of ice in my heart
I had that dream again
The one where everything ends
After the empire falls
I'll miss you most of all
And my limousine
That I've never seen
I got a crystal ball
Future so bright
Fell asleep to a record
Cars crash in the night

Time keeps running out
And I can't shake this doubt
I'm losing all I know
Getting ready to let go

In the here and now
The record spun out
I hear a voice in my dream
I wake up with a scream
Sit on the fire escape
Cold at daybreak
I try not to forget
How you got so wet
Under a banner of fire
In the yammer of time
It's all empty and bright
Cars crash in the night

Time keeps running out
And I can't shake this doubt
I'm losing all I know
Getting ready to let go

Pardon me friends, but I gotta move fast
I bought a little time but it ain't gonna last
Body good looking but the limousine's smashed
And living for tomorrow is a thing of the past

My old man said the first will be last
Don't bother me friends, just step on the gas
I don't wanna dawdle, I won't be tied to the mast
Because living for tomorrow is a thing of the past

Monuments built to honor my works
Now I'll get the recognition I so richly deserve
All my predictions will one day come to pass
But living for tomorrow is a thing of the past
