Time goes by
And we watch our lives
As they're sadly slipping away
Alone, we cry

So follow that tune quickly
Or you'll lose the melody you never hear
When you were young you didn't care
It's the one that stole your fathers pride
That mighty, mighty dollar sign
These are the things that matter now
So sing along and be...

Prepared to jump
When the ship has sunk
And you're slowly watching it drown
Alone, you cry

So follow that tune quickly
Or you'll lose the melody you never hear
When you were young you didn't care
It's the one that stole your fathers pride
That mighty, mighty dollar sign
These are the things that matter now
So sing along and be prepared
Maybe we, care about too much
Time we lost and in spite we run
That night, but you know I'm wrong
