Smokey Joe's Cafe - The McCoys

Beat the clock. Try to make it stop Before time can draw the line And cut you down to her size Beat the clock. Try to make it stop Tell me how long will it take Before you finally realize That the carnival is over And you've seen much better days You have wasted too much time Into many different plays You deny the possibility Of growing old You are filled with false humility You're much too bold Beat the clock.

Try to make it stop Tell me how long will it take Before you finally realize That the carnival is over And you've seen much better days You have wasted too much time Into many different plays You deny the possibility Of growing old You are filled with false humility You're much too bold
