Killing Time Lyrics by James Shaw

Life on the Clock

0

[Verse 1: Emily Haines]
As time goes by, never telling you why
Your life will pass right before your eyes
You'll try to do everything you can
To keep away the evil in their hands
Maybe you'll find a way
Maybe you'll find a way
Maybe you'll find a way
[Refrain: James Shaw]
And killing time won't help you find
Peace of mind
And killing time won't help you find
Peace of mind
[Vocal sample of man talking]
Have you forgotten the three who have died between [?]
Those three deaths have still not been explained
I doubt that they ever will be
There are powers
There are powers, higher powers
Of which we poor humans still know not
[Verse 2: Emily Haines]
As time goes by, it looks you in the eye
Make what you can
With what's within your hands
'Cause killing time won't ever help you find
Peace of mind
Peace of mind
Peace of mind
