I want to get drunk with my friends
We'll burn the candle from both ends
And by its light we'll know we're young
As though our lives have just begun
And songs of age old memory
Are yet to be sung
Before the moon and morning light
We'll talk to strangers
Children of the night
We'll be playing wild amongst them
Running out of time
And we'll live as if we know we'll die
We'll live as if we know we'll die
Do you know when
Your time is nigh?
We need carnal fruit to eat
Nourished by conversation sweet
To drink delicious breath from other lungs
Taste new ways to learn other tongues
There are so many hearts
Yet to be won
Before the moon and morning light
We'll talk to strangers
Children of the night
We'll be playing wild amongst them
Running out of time
And we'll live as if we know we'll die
We'll live as if we know we'll die
Do you know when
Your time is nigh?
There are mistakes that I must make
No matter what the prize or the stake
I'm in the arena with dirty hands
I'll take one last crazy chance
I don't care
Where the damn dice lands
Before the moon and morning light
We'll talk to strangers
Children of the night
We'll be playing wild amongst them
Running out of time
And we'll live as if we know we'll die
We'll live as if we know we'll die
Do you know when
Your time is nigh?
