Sometimes I lie awake, And think about the day

I watch you all walk around with,

Your eyes half open

I smoke one more cigarrette and, start it all over

You’re all so scared to face your own lives

You let it pass you by

Why don’t you try and open up your eyes

And see the door is closing

You always wait

Five Minutes for it to come

Five minutes and its over over

You seem to think your life’s just begun

Five minutes and its over over

There is a man in the kitchen with a shovel

A million dollars on the dining room table

Now every day he puts a little in the oven

You can spend as much or little as you’re able

You’re all so scared to face you’re own lives

You let it pass you by

Why don’t you try and open up your eyes

See what the man is burning

You always wait

Five minutes for it to come

Five minutes and its over over

You seem to think your life’s just begun

Five minutes and its over

Five minutes for it to come

Five minutes and its over over

You seem to think your life’s just begun

Five minutes and its over over

It’s your life

It’s your life

Why don’t you spend it the best you can

It’s your life

It’s your life

You always wait

Five minutes for it to come

Five minutes and its over over

You seem to think your life’s just begun

Five minutes and its over

Five minutes for it to come

Five minutes and its over over

You seem to think your life’s just begun

Five minutes and its over over
