(D. Roeser)

You said you'd be here at a quarter to five
|
I didn't know if you were dead or alive
|
How long d'you think that I could sharpen my knife
|
I've got better things to do with my life
|
|
It's almost the deadline
|
Don't miss the deadline, darling
|
When all your bad dreams will come true
|
Don't miss the deadline
|
It's almost the deadline, darling
|
I wouldn't want it to happen to you
|
|
Bill screamed at him, and he hung up the phone
|
I wonder if he ever felt more alone
|
He never finished his coffee that night
|
The (????) oh! Dave, it was a terrible sight
|
|
He missed the deadline
|
He passed the deadline, darling
|
And I believe that somehow he knew
|
He crossed the deadline
|
He passed the deadline, darling
|
There wasn't a thing anybody could do
|
|
Listen my darling, now, don't play with fire
|
You find a way to balance hate and desire
|
|
It's almost the deadline
|
Don't miss the deadline darling
|
Consequences are easily misconstrued
|
Don't miss the deadline
|
It's almost the deadline, darling
|
I couldn't live if it happened to you
