[Verse 1]
The time is almost over
The people are divided
So come a little closer
I try, now I can’t fight it

[Verse 2]
Evoke the invective
Or penetrate the madness
We’re countin' down the minutes
From an hourglass full of ice

[Chorus]
I won’t be long, I won’t be long
I won’t be long, I won’t be long
I won’t be long, long, long
I won’t be long, long, long

[Verse 3]
Can’t you hear the country station
Comin' from another car?
The broken air condition
No one has a clue where we are

[Verse 4]
‘Cause things are gettin' scary
We're covered in a secret
Buried in voluptuary
‘Cause there’s nowhere else to keep it
[Chorus]
I won’t be long, I won’t be long
I won’t be long, I won’t be long
I won’t be long, long, long
I won’t be long, long, la-la-la

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
I won’t be long
I won’t be long
I won’t be long, long, long
I won’t be long, long, long
I won’t be long, long, long
I won’t be long, long, long

[Outro]
Oh-so silently we go
Oh-so silently we go
Oh-so silently we go

[Instrumental Outro]
