BLUE OYSTER CULT - Deadline lyrics

rate me

You said you'd be here at a quarter to five<br>I didn't know if you were dead or alive<br>How long you think that I can sharpen my knife<br>I've got better things to do with my life<br><br>It's almost the deadline<br>Don't miss the deadline, darling<br>When all your bad dreams will come true<br><br>Don't miss the deadline<br>It's almost the deadline, darling<br>I wouldn't want it to happen to you<br><br>Phil screamed at him, and he hung up the phone<br>I wonder if he ever felt more alone<br>He never finished his coffee that night<br>The photo they showed david was a terrible sight<br><br>He missed the deadline<br>He passed the deadline, darling<br>And I believe that somehow he knew<br><br>He crossed the deadline<br>He passed the deadline, darling<br>There wasn't a thing anybody could do<br><br>Listen my darling, now, don't play with fire<br>You find a way to balance faith and desire<br><br>It's almost the deadline<br>Don't miss the deadline darling<br>Consequences are easily misconstrued<br><br>Don't miss the deadline<br>It's almost the deadline, darling<br>I couldn't live if it happened to you
