To burn out bright before a crowd
Or to fade away in a ghost town
Either way I guess the feelings gone
And I watch the dream ride on
Well maybe I got it wrong
Yeah maybe it's over, so long
But I still smile when I think about
Who that dream might cling to now
One more second to midnight
One more taste of the good life
Raise the stakes for the last time
One second to live, one second to midnight
And if it finds you may it treat you well
For as long as it hangs on
Know you're in for a wild ride
But don't guard your heart
Don't close your mid
And if you wake one morning and it wants to go
Don't fight it, let it roam
One more second to midnight
One more taste of the good life
Raise the stakes for the last time
One second to live, one second to midnight
