VERSE 1:
you’d better straighten your ties for the cosmic parade…
got a cold wind blowing…
and without me knowing…
they’ve already sealed my fate…
VERSE 2:
you’d better tighten up your act as a matter of fact…
you’ve got a ways to goin’…
but without me showin’…
there ain’t gonna be no show…
VERSE 3:
i found there’s simply no way to extinguish the flame…
so i caught a cold in…
and then i fake it away…
i fight it off and face another day…
VERSE 4:
and now i open my heart for the cosmic parade…
until my faith came callin’…
you had a thousand chances…
and i never heard you call my name…
VERSE 5:
well now the roles are reversed…
and now the blessed are cursed…
that’s when my faith departed…
i’ll finish what i started…
and finally extinguish the flame…
REFRAIN 1:
hard to hold…
hard to hold on…
wait until another break of dawn…
VERSE 6:
you’ve gotta strengthen your ties for the cosmic parade
screw second chances…
you should’ve learned your dances…
and showed’em that you mean what you say…
REFRAIN 2:
damn right i’m takin’ my time
time has takin’ it’s toll on mine and my kind…
