Beat the clock,
try to make it stop
Before time can draw the line
and put you down to her size
Beat the clock, try to make it stop
Tell me how long will it take
before you finally realize
That the carnival is over
and you've seen much better days
You have wasted too much time
in too many different ways
You denied our possibility
of growing old
You are filled with false humility,
oh, much too bold
Beat the clock, try to make it stop
Before time can blow the line
and cut you down to her size.
Beat the clock.
Try to make it stop.
Tell me how long will it take
before you finally realize
that you're in this game
the same as me.
Al though you think you're not,
when you try to rise above it all,
You get just what you've got
Seems to me you're slipping
You seem slightly unnerved
When you finally see yourself
You get what you deserve
Beat the clock
Try to make it stop
Before time can draw the line
and cut you down to her size
Beat the clock
Try to make it stop
Tell me how long will it take
Before you finally realize
