Killing Time
See that long line of people who keep standin' in the rain Looking tired gettin' cold And that signal light they waitin' for don't ever seem to change Killing time ain't it slow Watch them bending with the burden of the pennies that they save Marking time growin' old Slowly marchin' by the numbers to the freedom of the grave Killing time ain't it slow That's the closest thing to living that they're ever gonna know And their good times ain't no better than their bad Cause they think they need a signal light to tell 'em they can go Killing time ain't it sad [ guitar ] Don't feel sorry for those people who keep standin' in the rain They don't mind they don't know Cause it never crossed their minds they got a reason to complain Killing time ain't it slow They're not haunted by the visions that they never dared to see And they'll never miss the dreams they've never had They're condemned to go on living in a penitentiary For killing time ain't it sad Aus Songtexte Mania
