Caesar Your Time Is Near
Well it took a long time but, you've finally worn out your smile
That's when I knew it I'd run out of borrowed time
You always used to say that, you could learn a lot through wasting time
And that if you look hard you'll see yourself in your lover's eyes
Your time is near, it won't be long
You've got to go when you're called upon
No light of day, no sight of dawn
Don't turn around, just walk right on
You came riding into town in a black and white five and ten
Said, "I'll be your captain and take you back home again"
It's your third time around but, you know I'll get a second wind
But if we ever get there they'll be no one there to let us in
Your time is near, it won't be long
You've got to go when you're called upon
You caught me dancing in the street last night
You walked right past me into the light
Packed up my souvenirs, tied my shoes and sold my car
Yes, I should have known it, I'd never get very far
Ever since we've met you've been a hungry and a restless child
You're just like your father, you know he's got a poison mind
Your time is near, it won't be long
You've got to go when you're called upon
You said you and me, we'd never will pretend
But my broken soul is never gonna mend
