Half A Lifetime

If you're making easy money

And you've got some time to kill

Go get stark naked, honey

And drop those dollar bills

Go drink in every barroom

Go sleeping by the lake

Go by and by and love the way

You get every chance you take

And take another listen

Put the needle on the line

This motorpsycho prison

With all its hard rock visions!

It might take you half a lifetime

Might take you twenty-four hours to do it

Can't you take just one more?

It might take you half a lifetime

Might take you twenty-four hours to do it

Can't you take just one more?

Yeah

The first time we met, it was

Cigarettes and lighters

And all kinds of fire

We dealed and we dealt

And we rose and we knelt

At the altars of those who were higher

Please take a message

And put it to a beat

And try to cross over

From the country to the street

Yeah, try to cross over

From the country to the street

It might take you half a lifetime

Might take you twenty-four hours to do it

Can't you take just one more?

It might take you half a lifetime

Might take you twenty-four hours to do it

Can't you take just one more?

It might take you half a lifetime

Might take you twenty-four hours to do it

Can't you take just one more?

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah
