Time Is Running Out

I could have been a christian marching on to war
I could have been a boxer breaking many jaws
I could have been a copper pounding out a beat
I could have been a looser sleeping on the streets

But I have wasted all my time...
Having good times with the women and the wine
And if I had my time again...
I wouldn't change a single thing

I could have been a teacher teaching in a school
I could have been a student learning all the rules
I could have been a builder, with bricks upon a wall
I could have just anything... anyone at all

But I have wasted all my time...
Having good times playing music, drinking wine
But if I had my time again...
I wouldn't change a single thing

I could have been a gardener weeding out the beds
I could have been a surgeon... to get inside your head
I could have been a faggot working in a store
I could have been an actor in... 1984

But I have wasted all my time...
Having good times with the women and the wine
And if I had my time again...
Ild put the clock back and start again
Ild dream of all the places I haven't seen
Of all the people I have never been
But if I had my time again
I wouldn't change a single thing

...but time is running out
