Killing Time
See that long line of people who keep standing in the rain
Lookin tired, gettin cold
And that signal light theyre waiting for, dont ever seem to chang
Killing time, aint it slow.
Watch them bending with the burden of the pennies that they save
Marking time, growin old
Slowly marching by the numbers to the freedom of the grave
Killing time, aint it slow
Thats the closest thing to living that theyre ever gonna know
And their good times aint no better than their bad
cause they think they need a signal light to tell them they can go
Killing time, aint it sad.
Dont feel sorry for those people who keep standing in the rain
They dont mind, they dont know
cause it never crossed their minds they got a reason to complain
Killing time, aint it slow.
Theyre not haunted by the visions that they never dared to see
And theyll never miss the dreams theyve never had
Theyre condemned to go on living in a penitentiary
For killing time, aint it sad.
