To the Hilt

Golden Earring
From the Album:
* To the hilt
You wann try â"š¬" wanna fly
Right through the needles eye
Wanna be chilled â"š¬" wanna be thrilled
Press your luck right to the hilt
Hey boy â"š¬" quit that stare
Get out â"š¬" a â"š¬" grandpaâ"š¬â"ž¢s rockinâ"š¬â"ž¢ chair
How about raisinâ"š¬â"ž¢ hell â"š¬" lets see if we
Outdo ourselves.
One day youâ"š¬â"ž¢ll be tied and gagged
Your head upon the railroad track
The railâ"š¬â"ž¢s humminâ"š¬â"ž¢ â"š¬" thereâ"š¬â"ž¢s a train-a-cominâ"š¬â"ž¢
Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m sure your last thoughtâ"š¬â"ž¢s full of regret
Before the wheels roll across your neck
Why didnâ"š¬â"ž¢t I do this?
How come I didnâ"š¬â"ž¢t do that?
I could be out there â"š¬" paintinâ"š¬â"ž¢ towns red
Sweat
Maybe Iâ"š¬â"ž¢ll wake up in bed
No boy! This is itâ"š¬ You shouldâ"š¬â"ž¢ve used
A bit more wit.
Get out there â"š¬í‹Å“ dig in deep
Stay wide awake when youâ"š¬â"ž¢re asleep
Who wants to compromise â"š¬" when every
Second hour flies
Set the time on half past tilt
For making love right to the hilt
One day youâ"š¬â"ž¢ll be buried
Up to your elbows in the sand.
And thereâ"š¬â"ž¢s honey glowinâ"š¬â"ž¢
Down your cheeks itâ"š¬â"ž¢s flowing
Youâ"š¬â"ž¢ll find some time to reflect
Before the ants are crawling over your head
Why didnâ"š¬â"ž¢t I do this?!
How come I didnâ"š¬â"ž¢t do that â"š¬
Is this a dream thatâ"š¬â"ž¢s gone bad?
Maybe Iâ"š¬â"ž¢ll just wake up in bed â"š¬
To the hilt â"š¬" is that what you said????
