Deadline

You said you'd be here at a quarter to five

I didn't know if you were dead or alive

How long you think that i can sharpen my knife

I've got better things to do with my life



It's almost the deadline

Don't miss the deadline, darling

When all your bad dreams will come true



Don't miss the deadline

It's almost the deadline, darling

I wouldn't want it to happen to you



Phil screamed at him, and he hung up the phone

I wonder if he ever felt more alone

He never finished his coffee that night

The photo they showed david was a terrible sight



He missed the deadline

He passed the deadline, darling

And i believe that somehow he knew



He crossed the deadline

He passed the deadline, darling

There wasn't a thing anybody could do



Listen my darling, now, don't play with fire

You find a way to balance faith and desire



It's almost the deadline

Don't miss the deadline darling

Consequences are easily misconstrued



Don't miss the deadline

It's almost the deadline, darling

I couldn't live if it happened to you
