Running Out Of Time

Words and Music

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
