| Well, you have always been too slow
|
| And you have always been too late
|
| You should have known oh so long ago
|
| That your life is at stake
|
| 'Cause you never could keep up
|
| And you never read the signs
|
| Now you are turning dust to dust
|
| You are running out of time
|
| Cracking the whip
|
| It’s a new kind of pain
|
| Cracking the whip
|
| Don’t try in vain
|
| Well, you were always in despair
|
| And it seems like you were born to lose
|
| Now you are dying but no one cares
|
| You’re just a cannon on the loose
|
| Look’s like you missed the boat
|
| And you didn’t catch that train
|
| Now you’r crying and trying, in vain
|
| You just can’t take the pain
|
| Cracking the whip
|
| It’s a new kind of pain
|
| Cracking the whip
|
| Don’t try in vain |
