Lyrics

[Chorus]
Precious time is slipping away
But you're only king for a day
Doesn't matter to which God you pray
Precious time is slipping away
[Verse 1]
It doesn't matter what route you take
Sooner or later, the heart's gonna break
No rhyme or reason, no master plan
No Nirvana, no promised land
[Chorus]
Because precious time is slipping away
You know you're only king for a day
It doesn't matter to which God you pray
Precious time is slipping away
[Verse 2]
Say "que sera," whatever will be
But then I keep on searching for immortality
She's so beautiful, but she's gonna die someday
Everything in life just passes away
[Chorus]
Precious time is slipping away
You know she's only queen for a day
It doesn't matter to which God you pray
Precious time is slipping away
[Verse 3]
Well, this world is cruel with its twists and its turns
But the fire's still in me and the passion, it burns
I love her madly till the day I die
Till hell freezes over and the rivers run dry, but
[Chorus]
Precious time is slipping away
You know she's only queen for a day
Doesn't matter to which God you pray, because
Precious time is slipping away
[Chorus]
Precious time is slipping away
You know you're only king for a day
It doesn't matter to which God you pray
Precious time is slipping away
[Chorus]
Precious time is slipping away
You know you're only king for a day
Doesn't matter to which God you pray, because
Precious time is slipping away
