Your Time Has Come

The doctor told me, you’d better slow down,
Or your gonna be in trouble.
I asked doctor O’boogie, now what are my chances,
For drinkin’ on tonight.
Your time has come, like the setting sun,
Your time has come, a life cut short.
Days gone by, I feel like cryin,
What can I say, ain’t it a shame.
He said boy, your condition isn’t pretty,
This bad news, ain’t no joke.
Jack, it’s breaking you down, you’re just melting away,
I never thought that I would, have to pay.
Your time has come, like the setting sun,
Your time has come, a life cut short.
Days go by, sometimes I cry,
What can I say, ain’t it a shame.
I want to live! Before I fly away,
I don’t wanna die, I'm not going down without a fight.
Bargain with God, and I’ll be a good boy.
Maybe I’ll freeze, just another cool breeze,
I’m cryin’, dyin’, in the night.
So awaken me, when the ship gets there,
I'm blasting off for a ride,to the other side.
Your time has come, like the setting sun,
Your time has come, a life cut short.
Days gone by, I feel like cryin’,
What can I say, ain’t it a shame.

Back In The Mix

Woke up from my deep freeze this morning,
Locked in a deep freeze too boring,
Same ole clothes, spit shine shoes,
I'm back in the mix, I got nothing to lose,
Woke up from my deep sleep this morning.
I’ve been away too long, travelin’ centuries gone,
Feelin’ like ole King Kong, I’m back in the mix.
They thawed me out didn’t break a sweat,
Turns out they ain’t cured cancer yet,
Pour me a drink, I could use some booze,
I'm back in the mix, I'll forget my blues,
Go-on and light me up a cigarette.
I’ve been away too long, travelin’ centuries gone,
Singin' an old swan song, I’m back in the mix.
Spent all those years frozen lonesome,
My cold heart, a block of ice,
Sure would be swell to find a woman,
To love me and treat me right,
To love me and treat me nice.
Shakin’ off the dust it didn’t take long,
Getting a second chance to right my wrongs,
Bought a sharkskin suit, and alligator boots,
I'm back in the mix, let’s go for a cruise,
Come-on and we’ll ink old school tattoos.
I've been away to long, travelin' centuries gone,
Thinkin I might belong, I’m back in the mix.
Baby, baby, baby - I’m back in the mix,
baby, baby, baby - I’m back in the mix,
baby, baby, baby - I’m back in the mix.

Invisible

Like a cloaking device, you can't see me,
I’m invisible, man, hover like a ghost.
I’m right here, you won't touch me,
I'm invisible, man, you won't come to close.
I got something to say, you can't hear me,
Yeah, invisible, man, drifting down the coast.
Cuz' I’m invisible, man, hip back in the day,
Invisible, man, he sure could play,
Yeah, I’m Invisible, man,
Yeah, I’m invisible, man.
Like H.G. Wells, absorbs no light,
The invisible man, vanished from your sight.
Blinded all right, look right through me,
Yeah, invisible, man, he takes flight at night.
Like, I’m invisible, man, you won't know me,
The invisible, man, fills your mind with fright.
Cuz, I’m invisible, man, float through mid-air,
Invisible, man, you never know where,
I’m invisible, man,
Yeah, I’m invisible, man.
You’re too cool for school, oh so young,
your breaking all life’s rules,
Now that I’m unseen, lost shadows,
A-strange and lonesome dream.
Transparency, world's strange cruel game,
It’s crazy, man, phantom's my new name.
I’m still here, but not the same,
This Invisible man, has otherworldly aims.
Uh-huh, invisible, man, walk right past me,
Invisible, man, reckons your to blame.
Cuz, I’m invisible, man, you better beware,
invisible, man, you're looking real scared,
I’m invisible, man,
Yeah, I’m invisible, man.
I live in your dreams, in your hometown,
Cripy-creepin' your world, must be trouble bound.
Wee little sound, now you hear me,
Invisible, man, be making my rounds.
Milling around, now you feel me,
Yeah, invisible man's, haunted hunting grounds.
Cuz' I’m invisible, man, coming for you,
Invisible, man, your payment is due.
I’m invisible, man,
Yeah, I’m invisible, man.
Yeah, I'm Invisible, man,
Yeah, I’m invisible, man.
