Killing Time

I made a tugboat fly, made a python crawl

I’m so cold, I turned summer into fall

Made the thunder sing, put lightning in a jar

Done everything there is to do, except go too far

 

Chorus:

I’m killing time, it ain’t killing me

I’m killing time, it ain’t killing me

When I die, you better second line

But for now

I’m killing time, it ain’t killing me

 

Made the weak feel strong, kings look like fools

The teacher gave me straight A’s, I didn’t even go to school

I juggled sorrow like it was a toy

I lived the life of a hundred men, when I was still a boy

 

Chorus

 

I squeezed water from a turnip, lemonade from the sun

Fought a war on two fronts, didn’t even have a gun

But I think I’ll take it easy now, and cash in my chips

Kick up my feet, boys, and collect my tips

 

Chorus
