Chorus:
Four minutes left to go,
Is this the end?
That message on your stereo.
Four minute warning.
Everybody wants to know,
What you would do when a few short stories were (told)
Four minute warning.

Verse 1:

Sasher with his international coffee,
"Yes the heart of the city is here," so he tells me.
Sitting on his red leather sofa,
He's rolling another, "Man, I'll see you when I see ya"
Holly is said to be the next big thing,
In her high heel boots and her two inch earrings.
Heart of glass,
A blonde sings in her ear, "You're a rock queen, honey, and we all hear you!"

(Come on)

Chorus:
Three minutes left to go,
Is this the end?
That message on your stereo.
Four minute warning.
Everybody wants to know,
What you would do when a few short stories were (told)
Four minute warning.

Verse 2:
Lucy had a hard tie with love,
But love recently chose the right time for Lucy.
"Love him when you know it's the final time,"
She now holds time in her own mind.

(Yeah)

Jimmy sings to an old michael,
A guiness in one hand and in another a fable able.
Once asked, "Were you a lonely man?"
His reply was "No comment, I am what I am."

Chorus:
Two minutes left to go,
Is this the end?
That message on your stereo.
Four minute warning.
Everybody wants to know,
What you would do when a few short stories were (told)
Four minute warning.

Cry, Laugh, Feel love, These high moments,
And these are your four minutes.
(Counting down, four minutes, it's a sound)

The final story is one of me,
Who had four minutes left,
Has used up three.
I think of you,
I think of me,
When I think of nothing is the end... You'll see.

Chorus:
One minute left to go,
Is this the end?
That message on your stereo.
Four minute warning.
Everybody wants to know,
What you would do when a few short stories were (told)
Four minute warning.
(What would you do, yeah
With a four minute warning, a four minute warning.)
I'm fading away, I'm fadin away... If anybody wants to know.
