[Verse 1]
It takes a long time to kill a man
55 years, 24 hours at least
Until he breaks down
Starts to look underground
To go off and get him some peace
I want to die a lot quicker than that
If my it's my only way out
Oh, I've been counting up the costs
Getting up on that cross
I want to know what this all about

[Chorus]
So Father Time, steals our days, like a thief
There's no price that I wouldn't pay
To get some relief
I've become an empty shell
Of a man I don't like so well
I am a living, breathing hell
Come on and resurrect me

[Verse 2]
I tried to drown the pain with a friend of mine
It didn't seem to help
Ah she's got a pretty face
With her wedding lace
But I'm still waking up with myself
I know what it means to choke it down
Up, down until your legs get weak
I know what it's like on a Saturday night
Sunday morning in a crowded street
[Chorus]
So Father Time steals our days, like a thief
There's no price that I haven't paid
To get some relief
I've become an empty shell
Of a man I don't like so well
I am a living, breathing hell
Come on and resurrect me

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Father Time steals our days, like a thief
There's no price that I haven't paid
To get some relief
I've become an empty shell
Of the man I don't like so well
I am a living, breathing hell
Come on and resurrect me
