Deadline

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Buck Dharma] You said you'd be here at a quarter to five I didn't know if you were dead or alive How long you think that I can sharpen my knife I've got better things to do with my life [Chorus: Buck Dharma] It's almost the deadline Don't miss the deadline, darling When all your bad dreams will come true Don't miss the deadline It's almost the deadline, darling I wouldn't want it to happen to you [Verse 2: Buck Dharma] Phil screamed at him, and he hung up the phone I wonder if he ever felt more alone He never finished his coffee that night The photo they showed David was a terrible sight [Chorus: Buck Dharma] He missed the deadline He passed the deadline, darling And I believe that somehow he knew He crossed the deadline He passed the deadline, darling There wasn't a thing anybody could do [Bridge: Buck Dharma] Listen my darling, now, don't play with fire You find a way to balance faith and desire [Chorus: Buck Dharma] It's almost the deadline Don't miss the deadline darling Consequences are easily misconstrued Don't miss the deadline It's almost the deadline, darling I couldn't live if it happened to you
