Quarter To Twelve

(album: One More For The Road - 2017)

Oh, yeah

There is want, there is need
There is get-up-on-your-feet
And there is sit-and-wait

There is justice, there's revenge
There are enemies and friends
And there is love and hate

I been trying to hear the ticking of the clock
And smile with the lies I tell myself
See the hand moving closer to the end
'Cause it is quarter, quarter to twelve
Ah, yeah

There's ambition, there is greed
There is rage and there's money
It's hard to separate
There are guns, there are hands
You won't get a second chance
And there is love and hate

I been trying to hear the ticking of the clock
And smile with the lies I tell myself
See the hand moving closer to the end
'Cause it is quarter, quarter to twelve

I know it's hard to face tomorrow
But it's our surest time to borrow
So do we wanna keep living this way?
Leave whatever fills your heart
But it must not tear us apart
Change forever, day by day
Oh
Ambition

I been trying to hear the ticking of the clock
And smile with the lies I tell myself
See the hand moving closer to the end
'Cause it is quarter, quarter to twelve
Oh, yeah
