Megadeth - Time/Use The Man lyrics

Father time, I'm running late I'm winding down, I'm growing tired Seconds drift into the night The clock just ticks till my time expires You were once my friend Now I know I can't tie your hands The days I saved I couldn't spend They fell like sand through the hourgla** No time to lose, no time to choose Time taking time, it's taken mine Scenes of my life seem so unkind Time chasing time, creeps up behind I can't run forever, and time waits for no one Not even me I heard somebody fixed today There was no last goodbyes to say His will to live ran out I heard somebody turned to dust Looking back at what he left A list of plans and photographs Songs that never will be sung These are the thinge he won't get done I've seen the man use the needle, seen the needle use the man I've seen them crawl from the cradle to the gutter on their hands They fight a war but it's fatal, it's so hard to understand I've seen the man use the needle, seen the needle use that man Just one shot to say goodbye One last taste to mourn and cry Scores and shoots, the lights go dim Just one shot to do him in He hangs his head and wonders why Why the monkey only lies But pay the pauper, he did choose He hung his head inside the noose I've seen the man use the needle, seen the needle use that man I've seen them crawl from the cradle to the coffin on their hands They fight a war but it's fatal, it's so hard to understand I've seen the man use the needle, seen the needle in his hand Cryptic writing on the wall, the beginning of the end I've seen myself use the needle, seen the needle in my hand
