Time the Avenger

Nobody's perfect Not even a perfect stranger But oh what a gal She was such a perfect stranger And you're the best in your field In your office with your girls And desk and leather chair Thought that time was on your side But now it's time the avenger Nobody's permanent Everything's on loan here Even your wife and kids Could be gone next year And with what you have left You'll be forever under pressure To support her And a lover who looks strangely Like time the avenger Time, time, hear the bells chime Over the harbor and the city Time, one more vodka and lime To help paralyze that tiny little tick, tick, tick, tick Nobody's perfect Not even a perfect gent When your property took the a train I wonder where your manners went You were standing at the station In your briefcase Was your aftershave and underwear Can you hear the whistle blow? Sounds like time the avenger Time, time, hear the bells chime Over the harbor and the city Time to kill another bottle of wine To help paralyze that tiny little tick, tick, tick, tick --- Time the Avenger - Pretenders
