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 heart´s gonna 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 gonna die some day
Everything in life just passes away

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 till the day I die
Till hell freezes over and the rivers run dry

But precious time is slipping away

You know she´s only queen for a day
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
