End of the road, our clock strikes nine.
Take back the streets, or take straight time for this.
My pure gone days, every morning an about face.

Battle for straight time x 4

Again it sounds like this is two guitars. Its some sort of overdubbed thing but this 
almost like it.

Our time in hell has served us fine.
At last alive, we'll meet at five for this.
Cocktails on me, we can light them on the count three.
