Frantic lyrics
by Ramones
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
If I could have my wasted days back
Would I use them to get back on track?
Stop to warm at karma's burning
Or look ahead, but keep on turning?
Do I have the strength to know how I'll go?
Can I find it inside to deal with what I shouldn't know?
Could I have my wasted days back
Would I use them to get back on track?
[Refrain]
You live it or lie it, you live it or lie it
(You live it or lie it, you live it or lie it)
My lifestyle determines my death style
My lifestyle determines my death style
[Pre-Chorus]
Keep searching
Keep on searching
This search goes on
This search goes on
Keep searching
Keep on searching
This search goes on
This search goes on
[Chorus]
Frantic, tick, tick, tick-tock
Frantic, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick-tock
Frantic, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick-tock
Frantic, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick-tock
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
I've worn out always being afraid
An endless stream of fear that I've made
Treading water full of worry
This frantic tick, tick talk of hurry
Do I have the strength to know how I'll go?
Can I find it inside to deal with what I shouldn't know?
Worn out always being afraid
An endless stream of fear that I've made
[Refrain]
You live it or lie it, you live it or lie it
(You live it or lie it, you live it or lie it)
My lifestyle determines my death style
My lifestyle determines my death style
[Pre-Chorus]
Keep searching
Keep on searching
This search goes on
This search goes on
Keep searching
Yeah, I keep on searching
This search goes on
On and on
[Chorus]
Frantic, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick-tock
Frantic, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick-tock
Frantic, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick-tock
Frantic, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick-tock
[Bridge]
Do I have the strength to know how I'll go?
Can I find it inside to deal with what I shouldn't know?
Do I have the strength to know how I'll go?
Can I find it inside to deal with what I shouldn't know?
[Refrain]
Oh, my lifestyle (Birth is pain) determines my death style
A rising tide (Life is pain) that pushes to the other side
My lifestyle (Death is pain) determines my death style
A rising tide (It's all the same) that pushes to the other side
[Pre-Chorus]
Keep searching
Keep on searching
This search goes on
On and on
Keep searching
Keep on searching
This search goes on
On and on
[Chorus]
Frantic, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick-tock
Frantic, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick-tock
Frantic, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick-tock
Frantic, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick-tock
