Time / Use The Man - Megadeth

Father time, I’m running late

I’m winding down, I’m growing tired

Seconds drift into the night

The clock just ticks till my time expires

You were once my friend

Now I know I can’t tie your hands

The days I saved I couldn’t spend

They fell like sand through the hourglass

No time to lose, no time to choose

Time taking time, it’s taken mine

Scenes of my life seem so unkind

Time chasing time, creeps up behind

I can’t run forever, and time waits for no one

Not even me I heard somebody fixed today

There was no last goodbyes to say

His will to live ran out

I heard somebody turned to dust

Looking back at what he left

A list of plans and photographs

Songs that never will be sung

These are the thinge he won’t get done

I’ve seen the man use the needle, seen the needle use the man

I’ve seen them crawl from the cradle to the gutter on their hands

They fight a war but it’s fatal, it’s so hard to understand

I’ve seen the man use the needle, seen the needle use that man

Just one shot to say goodbye

One last taste to mourn and cry

Scores and shoots, the lights go dim

Just one shot to do him in He hangs his head and wonders why

Why the monkey only lies

But pay the pauper, he did choose

He hung his head inside the noose

I’ve seen the man use the needle, seen the needle use that man

I’ve seen them crawl from the cradle to the coffin on their hands

They fight a war but it’s fatal, it’s so hard to understand

I’ve seen the man use the needle, seen the needle in his hand

Cryptic writing on the wall, the beginning of the end

I’ve seen myself use the needle, seen the needle in my hand
