Running Out Of Time

Lyrics
Up at five o'clock
Cut myself with my
Razor and I was
Bleeding like an SOB
Drove to work and a
Tire blew out it
Made me late again
Boss was really pissed at me
Got a call from a
Bill collector he
Told me that I was
Behind in my payments
Driving home again
Got a ticket for
Speeding didn't have
Current registration
Like to chuck it all
Like to get away
Getting tired of
Fucking with it every day
Got to find a way
Out of all of this
Take some drugs or just
Fucking blow myself away
Later on when I
Got back home well I
Found my baby had
Took the car and drove away
Found out that she had
Ripped off all my dope
Took my overcoat
Didn't even leave a note
Well you know that she
Never said she was
Feeling out of sorts
Guess she could've been
All I know is I
Can't imagine why
Never saw her cry
Seemed to have no words to say
If I could I would
Surely take the time
Try to change her mind
Make her come back home to me
But I swear I don't
Know her whereabouts
Even if I did
Wouldn't do a lot of good
Someday maybe my
Luck will finally change
When my ship comes in
And my life is rearranged
Find a reason to
Keep on living life
Find the woman to
Make the perfect loving wife
Buy a new car and
Take a mortgage out
Have a couple kids
That's what life is all about
Then again I might
Go to college and
Get a BA an
MA and a PhD
I don't really know
I just can't be sure
Just 'cause people say
Don't exactly make it true
Don't know what to do
With my fucking life
I don't even care
Think I'm running out of time
