today you felt so numb all your nerves cam undone you re running to a halt your days are much more finite they speed by like railway cars you re screaming i won t let tonight pass me by i won t see with paralyzed eyes no i won t be a slave to time tonight we fight back with swollen fists and swallowed pride tonight we rock we ll smash it up shout at the moon and laugh at ourselves until the hand of fate takes it away we re staring life right in the face i won t let tonight pass me by i won t see with paralyzed eyes no i won t be a slave to time i won t let tonight pass me by i won t see with paralyzed eyes no i won t no i won t because time is so precious for us all do you gauge your life by fleeting moments that pass you by tonight we rock we ll smash it up shout at the moon and laugh at ourselves tonight we rock we ll smash it up sing with the moonlight i won t let tonight pass me by i won t see with paralyzed eyes no i won t be a slave to time i won t let tonight pass me by i won t see with paralyzed eyes no i won t no i won t because time is so precious for us all time is so precious for us all i might not wake up tomorrow time is so precious for us all i may not make it home tonight
