4. Deadline (4:27)
You said you'd be here at a quarter to five
I didn't know if you were dead or alive
How long you think that I can 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
Phil screamed at him and he hung up the phone
I wonder if he ever felt all alone
He never finished his coffee that night
The photo they showed David 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 faith 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 to happened to you
I didn't know if you were dead or alive
How long you think that I can 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
Phil screamed at him and he hung up the phone
I wonder if he ever felt all alone
He never finished his coffee that night
The photo they showed David 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 faith 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 to happened to you
