cash
Here we go around again Curve of life spiraling Everything we've ever known As the seed of life gets blown And the miracle of time When will that time just end Remember, you decide Take that vow Grab that ring It's not a whim Not a whim When you be cashing in  Try to turn your life around And all the things you do resound And then you can't loose control Say your time has come and then Hard to pinpoint find the seam Where that one time ends Where that time begins Remember, you decide Take that vow Take a stand Grab that ring It's not a whim It's not a whim It's only time That you're cashing in  In the white noise of desire We can't hear a single thing Floating round the fragile bough Afflictions of the human soul Its beauty immaterial  You decide Stand along The fallen ones Take revenge Defeated sons Rend that coat From seam to seam It's only time It's only time That you spend You spend It's only time You spend Its only time You spend It's only life That you're cashing in
