Deadline (Cultosaurus Erectus 1980)

Текст песни Blue Öyster Cult - Deadline (Cultosaurus Erectus 1980)

[Verse 1: Buck Dharma]
You said you'd be here at a quarter to five
I didn't know if you were dead or alive
How long you think that I can sharpen my knife
I've got better things to do with my life

[Chorus: Buck Dharma]
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

[Verse 2: Buck Dharma]
Phil 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 photo they showed David was a terrible sight

[Chorus: Buck Dharma]
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
[Bridge: Buck Dharma]
Listen my darling, now, don't play with fire
You find a way to balance faith and desire

[Chorus: Buck Dharma]
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
