[Intro] [Verse] Only the dead keep their clocks in line Their shadows stretch where the sun won't shine The living drift like smoke in air With empty hands and vacant stares [Chorus] Only the dead have no time to borrow Only the dead chase no tomorrow The living Oh They never care Desire’s a fire But the room is bare [Verse 2] The dead walk steady No rush No race Their hearts don’t pound Their steps don’t pace The living stumble Chasing dreams A quiet scream in endless streams [Solo Ruthm guitar] [Bridge] Tell me Where does the fire go When the clock runs slow Runs slow Do the living even know That time’s the thief they’ll never hold [Chorus] Only the dead have no time to borrow Only the dead chase no tomorrow The living Oh They never care Desire’s a fire But the room is bare [Outro] Tick-tock Tick-tock The silence grows Only the dead hear the undertow And the living They let it pass Like smoke on glass Like smoke on glass
