Half a Lifetime lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
It might take you half a lifetime, might take you 24
Hours to do it, can't you take just one more?
It might take you half a lifetime, might take you 24
Hours to do it, can't you take just one more?
Yeah

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Well, it might take you half a lifetime, might take you 24
Hours to do it, can't you take just one more?
It might take you half a lifetime, might take you 24
Hours to do it, can't you take just one more?
It might take you half a lifetime, might take you 24
Hours to do it, can't you take just one more?
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
