Half a Lifetime

If you're making easy money
And you've got some time to kill
Go get stark naked honey
And drop those dollar bills

Go drink in every barroom
Go sleeping by the lake
Go by and by and love the way
You get every chance you take

And take another listen
Put the needle on the line
This motorpsycho prison
With all its hardrock visions!

It might take you half a lifetime
Might take you 24
Hours to do it
Can't you take just one more?

It might take you half a lifetime
Might take you 24
Hours to do it
Can't you take just one more?

The first time we met it was
Cigarettes and lighters and
All kinds of fire
We dealed and we dealt
And we rose and we knelt
At the altars of those who were higher
Please take a message
And put it to a beat
And try to cross over
From the country to the street
Yeah try to cross over
From the country to the street!

It might take you half a lifetime
Might take you 24
Hours to do it
Can't you take just one more?

It might take you half a lifetime
Might take you 24
Hours to do it
Can't you take just one more?

It might take you half a lifetime
Might take you 24
Hours to do it
Can't you take just one more?
