Borrowed Time Lyrics

The little hand chases the bigger one

As the quitting man picks up a fickle gun

It's a brittle stand gives it his all for none

As the little hand eats up the bigger one

We're all on borrowed time

We're all on borrowed time

Fumbling for peace of mind

We're all on borrowed time

The little hand chases the bigger one

As the quitting man picks up a fickle gun

It's a brittle stand gives it his all for none

As the little hand eats up the bigger one

The whipping hand lashes the working one

As the killing man judges the bodies hung

Now he's a thinking man ethically overcome

As his bloodied hands question what they've become

We're all on borrowed time

We're all on borrowed time

Fumbling for peace of mind

We're all on borrowed time

We're all on borrowed time

We're all on borrowed time

Fumbling for peace of mind

We're all on borrowed time

Go Out to receive it

Placid water seeding

Ripple to a seething tongue

Coming through I'm screaming

Wishing I was dreaming

Crippled I am teething bone

Preacher he is breathing

Teacher, student seeking

Fickle as a newborn nun

Meeting in a clearing

Vultures keep on bleating

Underneath the searing Sun

Go Out to receive it

Placid water seeding

Ripple to a seething tongue

Coming through I'm screaming

Wishing I was dreaming

Crippled I am teething bone

Preacher he is breathing

Teacher, student seeking

Fickle as a newborn nun

Meeting in a clearing

Vultures keep on bleating

Underneath the searing Sun

Go Out to receive it

Placid water seeding

Ripple to a seething tongue

Coming through I'm screaming

Wishing I was dreaming

Crippled I am teething bone

Preacher he is breathing

Teacher, student seeking

Fickle as a newborn nun

Meeting in a clearing

Vultures keep on bleating

Underneath the searing Sun

The shriveled hand envies the eaten one

As the shifting sands cover the fallen nun

She's had gentle hands now they are all but burnt

As these rippled lands give prayers their final verse

We're all on borrowed time

We're all on borrowed time

Fumbling for peace of mind

We're all on borrowed time
