I'll take the high road There's nothin' stoppin' me now I like to gamble with my fate And there's no turnin' back I'm in the big time And no one can deny it I'm playing for high stakes I'm on the attack Don't tell me there'sno profit If I gain the world and lose my soul Don't wanna hear about eternity I'm livin' for today, yes I'm on a roll But when the clock strikes The clock strikes midnight When the clock strikes Time's run out on you Yeah, when the clock strikes The clock strikes midnight The Lord's going to give to each man his due My star is rising. It's high in the sky I burn the candle at both ends Lightin' up the night Don't try to cross me Cause I'll do in I've done it before And I'll do it again
