NICK OF TIME

Blow Up Your Video (1988)

(Young, Young, Johnson)

 

Wrong track, wrong line

First train to run on time

Bad blood, bad news

Long rope, got nothing to lose

Mad bull seeing red

Coming at me, happy when I'm dead

Jump a fence, get away

Ain't got a liking for the games he plays

What you gonna do?

 

Everybody trying to find you guilty

Make you wanna toe the line

Saved by, saved in the nick of time

I was saved in the nick of time

 

Slow plane, hard rain

Cold sweat and I feel the strain

Look down, no ground

Black sky, just the engine sound

Bail out, goodbye

Take my chances, I don't wanna die

Count ten, just pray

The nick of time can save me any day

What you gonna do?

 

Everybody love a hero, honey

Living on a danger line

Saved by, saved in the nick of time

Yeah, saved in the nick of time

 

Lose sleep, get grief

Some day get no relief

Quick punch, closed eye

You didn't knew it and you wonder why

Lynch mob on your tail

Think they were searching for the holy grail

Leave town, get away

I didn't figure on them anyway

No I didn't today

 

Everybody trying to find you guilty

Make you wanna toe the line

Saved by, saved in the nick of time

Right in the nick of time

In the nick of time

I was saved in the nick of time
