I Won’t Be Long Lyrics

[Verse 1: Beck]
The time is almost over
The people are divided

So come a little closer
I try now I can’t fight it
Evoke the invective
Penetrate the malice

I’m counting down the minutes
From an hourglass full of ice

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


[Verse 2: Beck]
Can’t you hear the catchy station
Coming from another car?

Broken recognition
No one has a clue where we are
Cause things are getting scary
We’re covered in a secret
Buried in voluptuary
Cause there’s nowhere else to keep it

[Chorus: Beck]
I won’t be long
I won’t be long, long, long
I won’t be long, long, long
[Instrumental]

[Chorus: Beck] x2
I won’t be long
I won’t be long, long, long
I won’t be long, long, long

I won’t be 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]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
