  • What all can you give, with five minutes to live?
    Hear the tock tick tock of the laughing clock
    What can you do or say?
    Maybe you oughta pray
    But you better think positive
    You got five minutes to live

    Time is flying by, now don't you sit there and let it fly
    You better come on strong, you can't stay here long
    That bell is gonna ring
    This is a final fling
    Ain't no alternative
    You got five minutes to live

    What all can you give, With five minutes to live
    Get dressed for your date or you're gonna be late
    Live a little while you can
    Don't you sit there and ring your hands
    Here comes a great big sedative
    You got five minutes to live Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
