Your Time Has Come

from Invisible by Jackslacks

about

"Your Time Has Come" strips away the electronic excess so often found in modern music, and instead grooves nicely with the organic sounding stuff – slide guitar, upright bass, harmonica, piano ... Blues-a-billy!

lyrics

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.
