Precious time is slipping away But you're only king for a day It doesn't matter to which God you pray Precious time is slipping away It doesn't matter what route you take Sooner or later the hearts going to break No rhyme or reason, no master plan No Nirvana, no promised land Because, precious time is slipping away You know you're only king for a day It doesn't matter to which God you pray Precious time is slipping away Say que sera, whatever will be But then I keep on searching for immortality She's so beautiful but she's going to die some day Everything in life just passes away But, precious time is slipping away You know she's only queen for a day It doesn't matter to which God you pray Precious time is slipping away Well this world is cruel with its twists and its turns But the fire's still in me and the passion it burns I love her madly 'til the day I die 'Til hell freezes over and the rivers run dry Precious time is slipping away You know she's only queen for a day It doesn't matter to which God you pray because Precious time is slipping away Precious time is slipping away You know you're only king for a day It doesn't matter to which God you pray Precious time is slipping away Precious time is slipping away You know you're only king for a day It doesn't matter to which God you pray because Precious time is slipping away
