One day I met an old man he said to me
You gotta live while you can son you gotta believe
Cause when you're old and dying it's no fun for you
You gotta live while can til your days are all through

And I don't know why the cold wind blows man
I don't know about all I've read
I just know that our days are numbered
And this is what he said

I got a time bomb ticking in my head
Ticking in my head
I got a time bomb ticking in my head
Ticking in my head

One day I met a young man he said get out of my way
I've got some living to do and there's no time to delay
Cause when you're old and dying it's no fun for you
You gotta live while can til your days are all through

And I don't know why the cold wind blows man
I don't know about all I've read
I just know that our days are numbered
And this is what he said

I got a time bomb ticking in my head
Ticking in my head
I got a time bomb ticking in my head
Ticking in my head


And I don't know why the cold wind blows man
I don't know about all I've read
I just know that our days are numbered
And this is what he said

I got a time bomb ticking in my head
Ticking in my head
I got a time bomb ticking in my head
Ticking in my head


Ticking in my head
