Time's Up

Golden Earring · The Red Bullet Years [2002]

We've been friends for a long term run

Shared the goods and we shared the fun

But it's true that nobody knows and no one can tell

Why in heaven do these moments come

Yeah, who in heaven lets these moments come

When the truth gets twisted and somebody's ringin' hell's bell

Yeah we've seen some high times

And it's too bad, one's always sad

You got 10 seconds baby and then I'm gone, gone

Gimme one reason for stayin' home



Time's up, I hope you make a million

And have a lot of pretty children

But this is my song, gotta say "so long"



I'm always hopin' for the best in life

I try to put it right between my lines

But somehow you been missin' the clues

And you got me feelin' used

Yeah, we've seen some high times

There's more to come, where they come from

You got 10 seconds baby and then I'm gone

Gimme one reason for hangin' on



Time's up, I hope you make a million

And have a lot of pretty children

And this is my song, tonight I gotta say "so long"

Time's up, I hope you get the picture

For your case there ain't no cure

I'll be free and you'll be fine

Time's up, I hope you make a million

And have a lot of pretty children

But this is my song, gotta say "so long"

Time's up

So long, bye, bye

Time's up
