Killing Time © Stephen Lomas 2004

:Sunday morning 
:Hell it's almost noon
:Got a table on the patio
:Like we always do.
:Drinking coffee, 
:All this beer & wine
:Lord I'm waitin', just killing time.
:Killing time
:Killing time's killing me.

:You're never so lonely, 
:Lost in a crowd
:Animated fascinated,
:And you're talkin' loud.
:Glasses clatter, words rattle like chains
:Furtive glances, cut like a blade.
:Killing time
:Killing time's killing me.

:We take the car
:You're talkin' to me
:See all the sights, see what we can see.
:Everything's there
:All falls into place.
:Sun in the window
:It burns my face.
:Killing time
:Killing time's killing me.

:There's a dog in the canyon
:Some mongrel breed
:He's got everything,
:He'll ever need.
:Hills are brown,
:They're ready to burn
:There's a lesson here,
:I'll never learn.
:Killing time
:Killing time's killing me.

:Remember the station
:It was way past one
:We waited an hour
:Train wouldn't come
:Cars on the highway
:Stopped for a light
:We cashed our tickets
:We hitched a ride
:Killing time
:Killing time's killing me.

:Nearly joined the Navy
:Considered Marines
:Tried a lot of things
:Weren't good for me
:Been around the world
:And back again
:I'm on this ride
:Right to the end
:Killing time
:Killing time's killing me.

This time, it’s really got you
And brought you down on your knees
And there seems to be nothing
To cure this disease

And the days are running away from you
The years go screaming by
And each moment turns to yesterday
In the blinking of an eye

CH:
Ain’t it a crime?
Ain’t it a crime?
That it’s killing time.

There’s no use in crying
Or trying to come clean
Is there a way of ever finding
what’s real and what’s the dream?

CH:

And the days are running away from you
And the years are screaming by
And each moment turns to yesterday
In the blinking of an eye
It’s killing time.
