Precious time is slipping away
   But you're only king for a day
   It doesn't matter to which God you pray
   Precious time is slipping away
  
   It doesn't matter what route you take
   Sooner or later the hearts going to break
   No rhyme or reason, no master plan
   No Nirvana, no promised land
  
   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
  
   Say que sera, whatever will be
   But then I keep on searching for immortality
   She's so beautiful but she's going to die some day
   Everything in life just passes away
  
   But, 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
  
   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 'til the day I die
   'Til hell freezes over and the rivers run dry
  
   Precious time is slipping away
   You know she's only queen for a day
   It doesn't matter to which God you pray because
   Precious time is slipping away
  
   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
  
   Precious time is slipping away
   You know you're only king for a day
   It doesn't matter to which God you pray because
   Precious time is slipping away
