[Verse 1]
Procrastinating for a week or two
Hard to focus kind of sweeping through
Know what's waiting. Always the same
Zooming out again such a shame
Then a beeping noise out of the blue
Urgent, urgent, where are you
[Chorus]
Deadline, can't run can't hide
Deadline, and it won't slide
Deadline, I can't abstain
Deadline, caught in its claws again
[Verse 2]
Work-rate now switch to overdrive
Catch that gate, have to arrive
PM is always on my case
Had a month now not even days
Then a beeping noise out of the blue
Urgent, urgent, where are you
[Chorus]
Deadline, can't run can't hide
Deadline, and it won't slide
Deadline, I can't abstain
Deadline, caught in its claws again
[Bridge]
Then a beeping noise out of the blue
Urgent, urgent, where are you
[Chorus]
Deadline, can't run can't hide
Deadline, and it won't slide
Deadline, I can't abstain
Deadline, caught in its claws again
[Outro]
But in the end I always come through
No matter where when or who
Still I never seem to learn a thing
I will always be the deadline king
