Gino Vannelli - The Time Of Day lyrics

All the ghosts in the schoolyard Young rebels with no dreams Dying of old age At seventeen Some blame their mothers For this unforgiving world Others point the finger At the flag the wind unfurls But i say You are the lock you are the key You are the master of your destiny The devil's the dude who sells poison for pay Don't give the devil the time of day Don't you give him the room or and inch to play Don't give the devil the time of day Don't give the devil the time of day There's a face in the mirror You don't recognize So you shatter the lights 'cause they sting your bloodshot eyes You walk on with a stranger Who rolls your soul up in his wad You place your trust in him Like you once placed it in god Well i say You are the lock you are the key You are the master of your destiny The devil's the dude who sells poison for pay Don't give the devil the time of day Don't you give him the room or and inch to play Don't give the devil the time of day Don't give the devil the time of day Caught between the cyclone fence and a red brick wall Yeah, you melt like chocolate in the sun Then you see your angel walking with his high-tops on And he hands you heaven hotter than a loaded gun (the time of day) Don't you give him (the time of day) Don't you give him (the time of day) You are the lock you are the key You are the master of your destiny The devil's the dude who sells poison for pay Don't give the devil the time of day Don't you give him the room or and inch to play Don't give the devil the time of day Don't give the devil the time of day All the ghosts in the schoolyard Young rebels with no dreams Dying of old age At seventeen Well i say You are the lock you are the key You are the master of your destiny The devil's the dude who sells poison for pay Don't give the devil the time of day Don't you give him the room or and inch to play Don't give the devil the time of day Don't give the devil the time of day
