Five Minutes Away

(hey, hey!)

Locker aisle under humming tubes

Cold steel beneath my boots

Got your message at three AM

Saying you're just around the bend

(sure you are, yeah)

Five minutes away, that's what you say But the clock keeps ticking

anyway

Hotel Bible in the drawer We've heard this promise once before

Late calls on the graveyard shift!

Running out of time we can't forgive!

You're five minutes out,

but the night is gone!

Standing in the aisle waiting for the dawn!

Shift change and the keys go cold Same old stories getting old

Your headlights never hit the street Just the hum of the fluorescent

sheet (hummmm)

Late calls on the graveyard shift!

Running out of time we can't forgive!

You're five minutes out,

but the night is gone!

Standing in the aisle waiting for the dawn!

Five minutes away... Yeah,

five minutes away...
