Killing Time Lyrics

Creatures Killing Time

i wait and wait
sleepwalk the hourglass
this way and that
the pendulum swings
yes there's plenty of time
always time left to kill
does time stand still
or hurtle on by?
let time unwind
let all the cogs fall out
let man's machines
collapse and rust
face down in the dust
i'll kiss no other lips
a lifetime of nothing
condemned without you
been so long here
i could die here
lying by your side
but time won't take me
time and me only
i'm just killing time
if the sun went out
i wouldn't mind too much
who needs the days to trouble to fill?
if the moon didn't rise
i wouldn't be upset
who needs moonshine to cause tears to spill?
i've been so long here
i could die here
under dying sky
this thirst and hunger
holds no wonder
i'm just killing time
i await your return
there's no other one
