Killing Time Lyrics

Killing Time

I found her in the alley with her face growing white

Her heart had stopped beating life was drifting from her sight

I performed a little CPR

And she asked what I'd been doing at the scene of the crime

I said honey I'm just saving people's lives and killing time

So I took her to a restaurant and introduced the cook

I decided that this goddess might be worth a second look

And our eyes locked on each other through a candle and domestic wine

Giving birth to eager romance taking a chance and killing time

And so she took me back to her place and started writing on the wall

Something about a man that she couldn't quite recall

And something about a song that she couldn't quite remember how to rhyme

Barking up the wrong tree and endlessly killing time

Killing time

Killing time

Yeah we're just killing time

Barking up the wrong tree and killing time

I bet her twenty dollars that she couldn't read my face

And she told a bedtime story of illusion and disgrace

And said I'd have to suffer when I told her that I didn't have a dime

Taking it out in trade honey I was made for killing time

I found her in the alley with her face growing white

Her heart had stopped beating life was drifting from her sight

I performed a little CPR

She asked what I'd been doing at the scene of the crime

I said honey I'm just saving people's lives and killing time
