When the clock strikes

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
