Precious time is slipping away
But you're only king for a day
It doesn't matter to which God you pray

Precious time is slipping away

It doesn't matter what route you take

Sooner or later the hearts going to break
No rhyme or reason, no master plan
No Nirvana, no promised land


Because, precious time is slipping away
You know you're only king for a day

It doesn't matter to which God you pray
Precious time is slipping away


Say que sera, whatever will be
But then I keep on searching for immortality
She's so beautiful but she's going to die some day

Everything in life just passes away

But, precious time is slipping away

You know she's only queen for a day
It doesn't matter to which God you pray
Precious time is slipping away


Well this world is cruel with its twists and its turns
But the fire's still in me and the passion it burns

I love her madly 'til the day I die
'Til hell freezes over and the rivers run dry


Precious time is slipping away
You know she's only queen for a day
It doesn't matter to which God you pray because

Precious time is slipping away

Precious time is slipping away

You know you're only king for a day
It doesn't matter to which God you pray
Precious time is slipping away


Precious time is slipping away
You know you're only king for a day

It doesn't matter to which God you pray because
Precious time is slipping away
