Beaten By The Clock

by Jack Daniels - Virgo

I see your eyes
Darker than the fire in my soul
I see your lies
Who are you trying to fool?

Full speed ahead
Your mind is throwing out images
Of things I never wanted to undestand
Or said

Your love is so close
I can almost taste it
I'm onto your track
I admire you at the very most

Who's really the hunter
In this battle of wits
Just one more thing not to forget
You'll be screaming my name yet

And screaming for me to stop
I wanted to take it to the edge
Never wanted it to end
But I was beaten by the clock

[make your escape...
make your escape...
make your escape...
make your escape...]

In the pit called the night
I'm rebuilding my strengh
Before the fight
And an impossible attempt

Who said I was right
Who said you were wrong
Who said I was weak
Who said you were strong

Any minute now the penny will drop
Why did I stay and die
When it would've been so easy to leave
But then I was beaten by the clock

[...make your escape...]
