Mama says what's done is done Keep your head and hold your tongue There's plenty of vipers in the vat And many a way to skin a rat There's time to burn Daddy cried revenge is sweet Hang 'em high, don't be discreet Voices howlin' in the wind Forgive me father for I have sinned There's time to burn I'll meet you at the point of no return Time to burn (We'll find out) I can't tell what's better or worse The cure or the curse But we all learn There's time to burn Colour your world in black and white Remember to say a prayer tonight When you step into that empty space Gonna wipe that smile off your face There's time to burn How many ways can you hit the floor Only a fool comes back for more Stay down and save you breath You'll need it for the kiss of death There's time to burn Meet me at the point of no return Time to burn (J. Camilleri J. Griffin – EMI Music PolyGram)
