Oh the light is slowly fading.
Tomorrow bleeds into today.
Rabbits playing in the road.
My muscles slowly tighten again.

If now's the only time I have,
Why do I run away and hide?
Waiting for the other shoe to drop,
But it still takes me by surprise.

A telephone is ringing,
Somewhere inside my mind.
The Tv news fires bullets at me,
And I fly away.

If now's the only time I have,
Why do I run away and hide?
Waiting for the other shoe to drop,
But it still takes me by surprise.

Is this the last day of the week?
I don't know when to say goodbye.
Photos fading in an album,
Well I don't feel like they are mine.

If now's the only time I have,
Why do I run away and hide?
Waiting for the other shoe to drop,
But it still takes me by surprise.
