"Can't Wait/Live"
It's called "Can't Wait"
Well, they told me
It would be OK
Yeah, they told me
They told me what to say
And they gave to me
Then they took away
Yeah, they gave it to me
It was powdered cocaine
And I just can't wait (you make me wait)
Any longer (don't make me wait)
I've got to leave today
What you doin' to me
You're messin' with my brain
What you doin' to me
I'm stuck in purple rain
And I just can't wait (you make me wait)
Any longer (don't make me wait)
I've got to leave today
"O God! Methinks it were a happy life
To be no better than a homely swain
To sit upon a hill, as I do now
To carve out dials quaintly, point by point
Thereby to see the minutes how they run
How many make the hour full complete
How many hours bring about the day
How many days will finish up the year
How many years a mortal man may live"
Please believe me
I was well on my way
Yeah, believe me
We thought that we would play
And I just can't wait (you make me wait)
Any longer (don't make me wait)
I've got to leave today
Don't fall for me
Don't wanna see you pray
Don't you wait for me
Just let it slip away
And I just can't wait (you make me wait)
Any longer (don't make me wait)
I've got to leave today
And I just can't wait (you make me wait)
Any longer (don't make me wait)
I've got to leave today
Thank you
