This life keeps moving on Gone away before too long So tell your friends just how you feel You'd better say it loud for the world to hear 'Cause it's getting late, it's time to go The paper moon is fading slow But the night, it keeps moving on 'Til it takes you in; it brings you home While you're watching over the moments that make up your life It's getting late that's the way it is You cant deny when it feels like this And it's strange whats it's bringing out You're gonna open up, 'cause you cant stop now It's getting late, you don't know how You're wide awake, but you're missing out You get your kicks, while you can Then you go to work, to pay the man While you're watching over the moments that make up your life It's getting late It's getting late It's getting late
