Twenty Four (Jem Cover)

Lyrics & Music: Jem
Rearranged: Serj Nightsnake

Been given 24 hours 
To tie up loose ends 
To make amends
His eyes said it all 
I started to fall 
And the silence deafened
 
Head spinning round 
No time to sit down 
Just wanted to 
Run and run and run
Be careful they say 
Don't wish life away, 
Now I've one day
 
And I can't believe
How I've been wasting my time

In 24 hours they'll be 
Laying flowers 
On my life, it's over tonight
I'm not messing no I 
Need your blessing
And your promise to live free
Please do it for me

Is there a heaven a hell 
And will I come back 
Who can tell
Now I can see 
What matters to me 
It's as clear as crystal

The places I've been
The people I've seen
Plans that I made
Start to fade
The sun's setting gold 
Thought I would grow old, 
It wasn't to be

And I can't believe
How I've been wasting my time

 
In 18 hours they'll be
Laying flowers
On my life, it's over tonight
I'm not messing no I
Need your blessing
And your promise to live fre 
Please do it for me

In 13 hours they'll be
Laying flowers
On my life, it's over tonight
I'm not messing no I
Need your blessing
And your promise to live free 
Please do it for me

I'm not alone, I sense it, I sense it 
All that I said, I meant it, I meant it

And I can't believe 
How much I've wasted my time

In just 8 hours they'll be
Laying flowers
On my life, it's over tonight
I'm not messing no I
Need your blessing
And your promise to live free
Please do it for me
 
In just 1 hour they'll be
Laying flowers
On my life, it's over tonight
I'm not messing no I
Need your blessing
And your promise to live free
Please do it for me
