Lyrics
Today you felt so numb.
All your nerves came undone.
You're running to a halt.
Your days are much more finite.
They speed by like railway cars
So we're singing,
"I won't let tonight pass me by.
I won't see with paralyzed eyes.
No, I won't be a slave to time."
Tonight we fight back
with swollen fists and swallowed pride.
Yeah...
Tonight we rock; we'll smash it up,
Shout at the moon, laugh at ourselves.
The hand of fate takes it away we're staring life right in the face.
I won't let tonight pass me by.
I won't see with paralyzed eyes.
No, I won't be a slave to time.
I won't let tonight pass me by.
I won't see with paralyzed eyes.
No I won't, no, I won't...
And time is so precious for us all.
Time is so precious for us all.
Time is so precious for us all.
Do you gauge your life
by the fleeting moments that pass you by?
Yeah...
Tonight we rock; we'll smash it up,
Shout at the moon, laugh at ourselves.
Tonight we rock; we'll smash it up,
Shout at the moonlight.
I won't let tonight pass me by.
I won't see with paralyzed eyes.
No, I won't be a slave to time.
I won't let tonight pass me by.
I won't see with paralyzed eyes.
No I won't, no, I won't
And time is so precious for us all.
Time is so precious for us all.
Time is so precious for us all.
Time is so precious for us all.
I may not make it home tomorrow.
Time is so precious for us all.
I may not make it home tonight.
