Time’s Up Lyrics

Carry me up to the sunset
Set me on the ground
I won't inside my body
But I’ll be around
Soon I tip my hat to you and say a sweet goodbye
Time is running out on me and I don't want to cry

Left His Heart in San Francisco
Standing In the rain
Left His Heart in San Francisco
Singing in the rain
Even with his mothers blessings
He could not explain
So he Left His Heart in San Francisco
Singing in the rain

Something's coming into focus
Something I can’t see
It's covered up with sticky paper
Now it's stuck to me
These are my last words I'm singing
Singing in the rain

Listen! S-S-Stability causes cancer! Can't you see?

It-it can only go so far!
It-it wasn't my fault!
It-was- it wasn't my fault!

Does… Does anybody want some roses?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
