Today you felt so numb
All your nerves cam undone
You're running to a halt
Your days are much more finite
They speed by like railway cars
You're screaming,
"I won't let tonight pass me by,
I won't see with paralyzed eyes,
No, I won't be a slave to time."
Tonight we fight back with swollen fists and swallowed pride
Tonight we rock; we'll smash it up
Shout at the moon and laugh at ourselves
Until the hand of fate takes it away we're staring life right in the face
I won't let tonight pass me by
I won't see with paralyzed eyes
No, I won't be a slave to time
I won't let tonight pass me by
I won't see with paralyzed eyes
No I won't, no, I won't because
time is so precious for us all
Do you gauge your life by fleeting moments that pass you by?
Tonight we rock; we'll smash it up
Shout at the moon, and laugh at ourselves
Tonight we rock; we'll smash it up
Sing with the moonlight
I won't let tonight pass me by
I won't see with paralyzed eyes
No, I won't be a slave to time
I won't let tonight pass me by
I won't see with paralyzed eyes
No I won't, no, I won't because
time is so precious for us all
Time is so precious for us all
I might not wake up tomorrow
Time is so precious for us all
I may not make it home tonight
