To The Hilt Lyrics - To The Hilt - Golden Earring

From the Album: 

* To the hilt 

You wann try wanna fly 

Right through the needles eye 

Wanna be chilled wanna be thrilled 

Press your luck right to the hilt 

Hey boy quit that stare 

Get out a grandpa's rockin' chair 

How about raisin' hell lets see if we 

Outdo ourselves. 

One day you'll be tied and gagged 

Your head upon the railroad track 

The rail's hummin' there's a train-a-comin' 

I'm sure your last thought's full of regret 

Before the wheels roll across your neck 

Why didn't I do this? 

How come I didn't do that? 

I could be out there paintin' towns red 

Sweat 

Maybe I'll wake up in bed 

No boy! This is it You should've used 

A bit more wit. 

Get out there 'n dig in deep 

Stay wide awake when you're asleep 

Who wants to compromise when every 

Second hour flies 

Set the time on half past tilt 

For making love right to the hilt 

One day you'll be buried 

Up to your elbows in the sand. 

And there's honey glowin' 

Down your cheeks it's flowing 

You'll find some time to reflect 

Before the ants are crawling over your head 

Why didn't I do this?! 

How come I didn't do that 

Is this a dream that's gone bad? 

Maybe I'll just wake up in bed 

To the hilt is that what you said????
