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
