Well it took a long time but you've finally worn out your smile    That's when I knew it    I've run out of borrowed time   You always used to say that you could learn a lot from wasting time    And that if you look hard    You'll see yourself in your lovers eyes       Your time is near it won't be long    You've got to go when you're called upon    No light of day, no sight of dawn    Don't turn around just walk right on       You came riding into town in a black and red five and ten    Said I'll be your captain    And take you back home again    It's the third time around but you know I'll get a second wind    But if we ever get there   There'll be no one there to let us in       Your time is near it won't be long    You've got to go when you're called upon    You caught me dancing in the street last night    You walked right past me into the light       Packed up my souvenirs, tied my shoes, and sold my car    Yes I should have known it    I'd never get very far    Every since we've met you've been a hungry and a restless child    You're just like your father    You know he's got a poisoned mind       Your time is near it won't be long    You've got to go when you're called upon    You said you and me we never will pretend    But my broken soul is never gonna mend
