Jon English - Minutes To Midnight Lyrics
Hah-hah-hah-hah-hahWell you can write to me your truth and happenin's insi-ideOr sell me a world that I don't need, then hitch a ri-ideThe driver laughs, we chase behind, tryin' to match his paceYou change our heads and you make our bedsIt's a hopeless raceYou're gettin' it all your way, you can't tell wrong from rightAnd right now you've got to pay'Cause right now it's minutes to midnightWell you can tell me all abou-out politics and kingsOr the price of cars and whisky jars and a million other thi-ingsBut it seems to me my friend, a lot of lines are left unsai-aidWhen the speaker has the only key to get inside his hea-eadYou're gettin' it all your way, you can't tell wrong from rightBut right now you've got to pay'Cause right now, it's minutes to midnight, yeah-eah, ah yeah-eahNo use in getting uptight, no use in startin' a fightIt's up to you now to make it alrightYour clocks readin' minutes to midnightYou're speakin' too lateTake my money, spend my life and do my thinkin' for me-eeNegotiate and sell my time, till we come down from the tree-eeYou just stand with a book in your hand, walkin' my high wireAnd lead our way for all who pay, from fryin' pan to fireYou're gettin' it all you're way, you can't tell wrong from rightAnd right now you've got to pay'Cause right now, it's minutes to midnight, yeah-eahIt's gettin' too lateNo use in gettin' uptight, no use in startin' a fightIt's up to you now to make it alrightYour clock's reading minutes to midnightNo use in gettin' uptight, no use in startin' a fightItc
