Take Five Testo

Take Five
Sixteen born and sixteen died
Should I laugh?
I could have cried
I'm no saver and I'm no lie
This is the art of staying alive
Alive, and I'm tired
Of telling time
Take five
Going down, and I'm in doubt
There's so much of this about
We the heroes wonder why
This is the art of staying alive
Alive, and I'm tired
Of telling time
Take five
Find the lady
Find her crown
Ask her just what is allowed
There's only so much I can buy
This is the art of staying alive
Alive, and I'm tired
Of telling time
Take five
God got up so early
So he missed the crowd
Saw me playing dirty while
A guest in his house
Ask me what the matter was
I swore that I lied
Remember the art of staying alive
Alive, and I'm tired
Of telling time
Take five
I was on the phone to my mother's son
I tell you not my brother but the other one
He said there's a reason and it's good to cry
Remember the art of staying alive
