I saw a fancy man with the sky in his hands

Said his time was done, now it's all in my hands (all in my hands)

There's a girl who works the corner, it's a quarter to five

Hard to make money but she still has the stars in her eyes (until her demise)

Five o'clock comes around (five o'clock comes around, oh)

This time

Five o'clock comes around (five o'clock comes around, oh)

This time

Smoking in the alley with blood on his shoes

Coming home from work and the wife has no clue that he's lost

And at what cost (cost)

Down past the railway

Trees block the safest way down, he's going down

Higher and higher now, sharp is the needle that kills

Was it worth that thrill

Five o'clock comes around (five o'clock comes around, oh)

This time

Five o'clock comes around (five o'clock comes around, oh)

This time

Five o'clock comes around (five o'clock comes around, oh)

This time

Five o'clock comes around (five o'clock comes around, oh)

This time
