Time is sleeping by
Time is running out
Time is all that you have
Have you've forgotten how to laugh
The lady said: You're far too serious for such a young man
Oh, but what did she know, she was just a cashier
Handing out change, nobody wants to hear

You've got everything to lose
Got everything to gain
Don't you have enough sense to come in out of the rain
Tell me, what are your alternatives?
There is no compromise
I know that it's hard to free yourself
From the quicksand of your lies

Love is slipping by
Love is running out
Love is all that you have
Have you've forgotten how to laugh
The lady said: It's just a good thing that you've got the money
Oh, but what did she know, she was just a stranger
Handing out advice, standing clear of the danger

You've got everything to lose
Got everything to gain
Don't you have enough sense to come in out of the rain
Tell me, what are your alternatives?
There is no compromise
I know that it's hard to free yourself
From the quicksand of your lies
