about

originally an instrumental piece. I added lyrics to this from my random musings in my journal. New song. The music is a late '90s piece I had laying around.

lyrics

Looking out on a Summer’s day. The sun shines the neighbors play
Laughing and drinking and ribbing each other When the storm hits They’re runnin’ for cover
The women strut around in their cute summer gear
In their pink baseball caps and stinking of beer
Primping and posing for anyone’s attention but not for their husbands who are too drunk to mention

I’m killin’ time
Murderin’ the minutes
Don’t have another line
Don’t have another rhyme

In the endless void of understanding of the collective bargaining soul
Are the absolutes that take the manhandling and shrink into the black and white hole
You’ll never find a truer man among you, but he’s not one to which you should aspire
For it’s not that he is honest and loyal or good It’s that you are traitors and liars

I’m killin’ time
Murderin’ the minutes
Don’t have another line
Don’t have another rhyme

I’m just killin’ time
Murderin’ the minutes
Don’t have another line
Don’t have another rhyme
