Better keep a cool head, don't be fooled
'Cos The Man In Black won't bring you the gold
You should've kept your mouth shut
But you called for help
Ain't nobody gonna save you
Better do it yourself
'Cos your time's not coming back
Better know your time's not coming back
It disappears
That's how it works
They're gonna get their own back and make you pay
Did you need it anyway, if it goes to waste?
So you settled for the cheap thrill, the undersell
But it made your heart break
Talk it through, deal with it yourself
'Cos your time's not coming back
Better know your time's not coming back
It disappears
That's how it works
So did you catch a brief glimpse
When you dropped your guard?
When you bolted for the front door
And made it out to the yard
You could've made a clean start
But you stalled the car
Now you're heading for the hills
With an empty hand and not much more, no, no
One too many white lies
But they called you out
Now you're not making sense, no, no, no
'Cos your time's not coming back
Better know your time's not coming back
It disappears
That's how it works
So you could've kept a cool head
And helped yourself
If you're gonna get your own back
You'd better make it hell
'Cos you should've kept a cool head
