On a madcap jaunt
With a slanted bow
I took look in my enemy's eyes
I wonder what they know
There's a dog tied up in the alley
Is it friend or foe
When I fell out of time in the death march
They just let me go
There's darkness approaching
Faster and faster
This time tomorrow
You'll be yesterday's news
There's darkness approaching
Cry for your mother
But I'm busy picking
Her out of my teeth
There's a painted whore
Going through your draws
In a town where the bomb drops first
There is no law
You're a greedy boy
Now you've gotten fat
You're dumber than you've ever been
Squeezed into your dunce's hat
I'm no pessimist
But I'll tell you this
I don't hold much space for your crying
Or your excuses
You're the first to hide
When the hammer falls
I'm getting out alive
Riding a wrecking ball
There's darkness approaching
Faster and faster
This time tomorrow
You'll be yesterday's news
There's darkness approaching
Cry for your mother
But I'm busy picking
Her out of my teeth
There's darkness approaching
Cry for your mother
But I'm busy picking
Her out of my teeth
So kiss your wife
Hug your momma
Sharpen your knife
Load your gun
So kiss your wife
Hug your momma
Sharpen your knife
Load your gun
