Lyric Deadline

( - D. Roeser - )

You said you d be here at a quarter to five
I didn t know if you were dead or alive
How long d you think that I could sharpen my knife
I ve got better things to do with my life

It s almost the deadline
Don t miss the deadline, darling
When all your bad dreams will come true
Don t miss the deadline
It s almost the deadline, darling
I wouldn t want it to happen to you

Bill screamed at him, and he hung up the phone
I wonder if he ever felt more alone
He never finished his coffee that night
The (????) oh! Dave, it was a terrible sight

He missed the deadline
He passed the deadline, darling
And I believe that somehow he knew
He crossed the deadline
He passed the deadline, darling
There wasn t a thing anybody could do

Listen my darling, now, don t play with fire
You find a way to balance hate and desire

It s almost the deadline
Don t miss the deadline darling
Consequences are easily misconstrued
Don t miss the deadline
It s almost the deadline, darling
I couldn t live if it happened to you
