Pokey LaFarge - Killing Time Lyrics

[Verse 1]I made a tugboat fly, made a python crawlI'm so cold, I turned summer into fallMade the thunder sing, put lightning in a jarDone everything there is to do, except go too far[Chorus]I'm killing time, it ain't killing meI'm killing time, it ain't killing meWhen I die, you better second lineBut for nowI'm killing time, it ain't killing me[Verse 2]Made the weak feel strong, kings look like foolsThe teacher gave me straight A's, I didn’t even go to schoolI juggled sorrow like it was a toyI lived the life of a hundrеd men, when I was still a boy[Chorus]I'm killing time, it ain't killing mеI'm killing time, it ain't killing meWhen I die, you better second lineBut for nowI'm killing time, it ain't killing me[Verse 3]I squeezed water from a turnip, lemonade from the sunFought a war on two fronts, didn't even have a gunBut I think I'll take it easy now, and cash in my chipsKick up my feet, boys, and collect my tips[Chorus]I'm killing time, it ain't killing meI'm killing time, it ain't killing meWhen I die, you better second lineBut for nowI'm killing time, it ain't killing me
