Did you know that time passes with a smile and sneer   Can you hear the calendar scream as you X out the days   Time spent    Chasing the tail of tomorrow   And today      Step up to the plate   Throw down your hope   Face your fate   And ponder it between the index and the ring      If your hope runs dry    Then there's nothing left to push for   Throw in the towel and take that next step   Laugh your way into the future   And make sure she see it       Step up to the plate   Throw down your hope    Face your fate   And ponder it between the index and the ring      Thats when I sign my check for fuck you dollars   With a memo: please leave   Thats when I sign my check for fuck you dollars   With a memo: please leave      And I'll seal it in an envelope with a burning rose      The clock dies at 5:16   5:16
