Living On Borrowed Time
The Box · Other Songs - The Box
You are standing on a thin line
Close call with the Maker
You're shaking hands with the 'taker
Would you lay there so fervently praying
For a promise of time?
Would you cry out for a chance of survival
For a promise of life?
(CHORUS)
Time, time, living on borrowed time
No time left to do what's to do
Time, time, living on borrowed time
Don't you wait for the darkness
To open, to open your eyes
You see their faces everywhere
In the papers, on T.V.
The chosen few that will live to tell
See the sparkle in their eyes
Could it be they were fervently praying
For a promise of time?
Crying out for a chance of survival
For a promise of life?
(CHORUS)
Time, time, living on borrowed time
No time left to do what's to do
Time, time, living on borrowed time
Don't you wait for the darkness
To open, to open your eyes
Could it be they were fervently praying
For a promise of time?
Crying out for a chance of survival
For a promise of life?
(CHORUS)
Time, time, living on borrowed time
No time left to do what's to do
Time, time, living on borrowed time
Don't you wait for the darkness
Time, time, living on borrowed time
No time left to do what's to do
Time, time, living on borrowed time
Don't you wait for the darkness
