The Pretenders | Lyrics | Time the Avenger

Nobody's perfect
Not even a perfect stranger
Oh, but what a gal
She was such a perfect stranger

And you're the best in your field
In your office
With your girls, desk and leather chair
Thought that time was on your side
Not, it's time the avenger

Nobody is permanent
Everything is on loan here
Even your wife and kids
Could be gone next year

And with what you have left
You'll be forever, under pressure to support her
And a lover who looks strangely
Like time the avenger

(Time, time hear the bells chime)
Over the harbor in the city
(Time, one more vodka and lime)
To help paralyze that little
Tick, tick, tick, tick

Nobody's perfect
Not even a perfect gent
When you properly took the a train
I wonder where your manners were

You were standing at the station
In your briefcase was your aftershave and underwear
Can you hear the whistle blow?
Sounds like time the avenger

(Time, time hear the bells chime)
Over the harbor in the city
(Time kill another bottle of wine)
To help paralyze that little
Tick, tick, tick, tick
