Song lyrics Beat The Clock by The Mccoys

Beat the clock
Try to make it stop
Before time can draw the line
And cut you down to her size

Beat the clock
Try to make it stop
Tell me, how long will it take
Before you finally realize

That the carnival is over
And you've seen much better days
You have wasted too much time
In too many different ways

You deny the possibility of growing old
You are filled with false humility,
You're much too bold

Beat the clock
Try to make it stop
Before time can draw the line
And cut you down to her size

Beat the clock
Try to make it stop
Tell me, how long will it take
Before you finally realize

That you're in this game the same as me
Although you think you're not
When you've tried to rise above it all
You'd get just what you got

Seems to me you're slipping, you seem slightly unnerved
When you finally see yourself, you get what you deserve
