rad kick - precious time lyrics
words and music by joe jackson)
a million tiny lights are strung across the western sky
they burn to light our mission
but it’s just a million lonely hearts strung out
from never asking why
we burn with blind ambition
i heard somebody say
i don’t regret my wedding day
but something’s wrong
it’s not the same
i’m lonely and i’d start again
if i had the time
precious time
but i don’t ask that much
just to keep in touch
and waste a little of your precious time
waste a little of your precious time
a million dollars never justified a million lies
to jockey for position
and if two hearts can’t beat as one
how can a billion souls survive
in this world of suspicion
i heard somebody say
i dream about my wedding day
through lonely nights
i dream of you
a lover though a friend would do
i’d find him if i had the time
precious time
and i don’t ask that much
just to keep in touch
and waste a little of your precious time
waste a little of your precious time
but i don’t ask that much
just to keep in touch
and waste a little of your precious time
and just a smile’s enough
just some of that human stuff
and waste a little of your precious time
precious time
