Lyrics

[Verse 1] You don't have to die if you don't wanna die You can take it all back in the nick of time Maybe even be a good friend of mine Baby I And we won't have to cry if we don't wanna cry Maybe I got something left in this heart of mine Awash in the sand on the beach of time Baby I [Chorus] You know, you know that time Can take you for a ride Can take you by surprise Maybe you'll roll snake eyes Baby, tell me why You gotta play your luck? Two aces call your bluff I love you very much And all that other stuff [Verse 2] Thawing out my heart like meat I see your track marks poking through your hoodiе sleeve Tic-tac-toe game to thе destiny I grieve Marching towards East River Park You told me your big secret on the FDR I couldn't hear you over choppers and the buzzing cars So far [Chorus] You know, you know that time Can take you for a spin Can really do you in Can leave you with the bends Baby, try to live again And play another hand Maybe we'll start a band I wanna understand Baby, help me understand [Outro] 'Cause you don't have to die if you don't wanna die Maybe I got something left that is worth a try But I'm not gonna be your alibi This time
