I saw the light but it was too late, too late
I wanted to fight but it was too great
Too great to fight it
Guess I’m loving on borrowed time
Didn’t know that you could not be mine
I’m the fool, I guess
I’m the fool, I guess
I started to cry but I was cried out, cried out
Cos you opened my eyes, but with the light out
I couldn’t see it
Guess I’m loving on borrowed time
Didn’t know that you could not be mine
I’m the fool, I guess
I’m the fool, I guess
I begged you to leave her but it was too late, too late
Cos though you have deceived her, you knew that she’d wait
She’d wait forever
Guess I’m loving on borrowed time
Didn’t know that you could not be mine
I’m the fool, I guess
Oh baby
Guess I’m loving on borrowed time
Didn’t know that you could not be mine
I’m the fool, I guess
I’m the fool, I guess
Oh baby, I’m the fool, I guess
There's riders in this county
They're taking heads for bounty
Wake up Corinne, they come to ride us down
Sweetness we have tasted
The time to move is wasted
They're riding like a hurricane through this town
We've been too many nights sleeping in a feather bed
You can't close both your eyes with a price on your
head
You got to stand and fight for what you believe
You got to face death with your heart on your sleeve
Life is a card-game, you've soon got to leave
Living on borrowed, living on borrowed, living on
borrowed time
If you say that you want your freedom
They'll hear you in every kingdom
They'll travel ten thousand miles just to shoot you
down
Well the judge he was deluded
And the sheriff he soon colluded
And they swore they'd hang me six feet off the ground
They'll hunt you down 'cos you dare to tell the truth
A man ain't safe these days under his own roof
But you can't live your life under no man's thumb
They'll all pay double for what they've done
Our day's coming but their day's come
Living on borrowed, living on borrowed, living on
borrowed time
You can't live your life under no man's thumb
They'll all pay double for what they've done
Our day's coming but their day's come
Living on borrowed, living on borrowed, living on
When I was younger
Living confusion and deep despair
When I was younger
Living illusion of freedom and power
When I was younger
Full of ideas and broken dreams, my friend
When I was younger
Everything simple but not so clear
Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow
Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow
Now I am older
The more that I see the less that I know for sure
Now I am older
The future is brighter and now is the hour
Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow
Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow
Good to be older
Would not exchange a single day or year
Good to be older
Do not believe in [Incomprehensible]
Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow
Living on borrowed time
It's morning
And you're still right here with me
I wish I could call in
And take off the rest of the week
I know your girl's thinkin'
Where the hell can you be?
But the good love that you're giving to me
It's a shame you've got to leave me, baby
You don't belong to me
And I don't belong to you
No matter how hard we try
We're still on borrowed time
You still go home to her
So you can't belong to me
Although it feels so right
We're still on borrowed time
Somehow I wish I'd find some way
To make you all mine and I mean only mine
You feel so good, how good? Too good
My heart says it's no use 'cause you're leavin' soon
We'll never get away
Still day by day
But it's killin' me, oh yes, it's killin' me
'Cause I know that you're feelin' me, baby
You don't belong to me
And I don't belong to you
No matter how hard we try
We're still on borrowed time
You still go home to her
So you can't belong to me
Although it feels so right
We're still on borrowed time
You gotta stop callin' me
And tellin' me
I'm where you'd rather be
It's been nineteen weeks
And you're still playin' your games everyday, no
I would never ever want to hurt her, no no
So I'll take the initiative and let you go
Until you're ready to come home to me
You don't belong to me
And I don't belong to you
No matter how hard we try
We're still on borrowed time
Baby, the hardest thing is gonna be
Is gonna be getting over you so easy
You know when I gave you my all everyday
But it's best for all of us to move on
'Cause no matter what I think we'll be
You'll never belong to me
You don't belong to me
And I don't belong to you
No matter how hard we try
We're still on borrowed time
You still go home to her
So you can't belong to me
Although it feels so right
We're still on borrowed time
Somehow, some way
All mine, only mine
So good, too good
Whoa, too much borrowed time
You don't belong to me
And I don't belong to you
No matter how hard we try
We're still on borrowed time
You still go home to her
So you can't belong to me
Although it feels so right
I was so cool back in sixty-five
I had it made 'cause I understood
What to do to survive
I had my car and I made the scene
Didn't give a damn about no gasoline
They can go to hell
My friend we never thought about the world
And its realities
The promised land was ours
We were the Great Society
I'm so confused by the things I read
I need the truth
But the truth is I don't know what to believe
the left says yes and the right says no
I'm in between and the more I learn
Well, the less I know
I got to make a show
Livin' high, livin' fine
Livin' high on borrowed time
Faith be with me now
I'm just a dreamer in a dreamland
Faith be with me now
I'm just a dreamer in a
'Cause we're
Livin' high, livin' fine
Well we're living on borrowed time, Lord
Can you give us another day
Yes we're living on borrowed time, Lord
Can you give us another day
Our chance of survival is slim, it's what they say
Yes we're living on borrowed time, Lord
Can you give us another day
We gotta hold ourselves together,
But there ain't no guarantee
We gotta hold ourselves together,
But there ain't no guarantee
Our chance of survival is slim, many plea
We gotta hold ourselves together,
But there ain't no guarantee
Yes I've seen many people down
On their knees to pray
Yes I've seen many people
On their knees to pray
They say our chance of survival is slim,
It's what they say
Yes we're living on borrowed time, Lord
Got the word, getting ready
Gonna get my pay from ? ? ? ?
I’m in light, ? ? ? ?
When the action is hot, ? ? ? ?
No town, no city
Gonna be free from the jumping jack
Kiss of life, getting gritty
If the mule don’t kick you know the mule don’t ride
And I know, yes I know, well I know
That’s the way to go
And I know, and I know
And I know that I’m gonna get it down the road
Chorus:
Cause I’m living on a borrowed time
Do it your way, I’ll do it mine
Living on a borrowed time
Don’t need a shove, don’t need a sign
Call me names, call me crazy
Don’t try to stop me when I feel this way
It’s a game, (whoopsy daisy? )
Here comes another girl to make my day
And I know, yes I know, well I know
That’s the way to go
And I know, yes I know
I’m gonna get up when I’m up on the road
Chorus
(so long, goodbye, good luck, au revoir baby)
(look out people, never let me loose)
Chorus
I don’t need a sign to show me the way
Livin' on the streets
I ain't got a dime
People look at me and say
I'm livin' on borrowed time
Everything I own
Isn't worth a dime
Spend all my time
And my money getting' high
I don't really care
About what people say and do
I live my life
By my own set of rules
Everything I do
I'm livin' just to die
I'm livin' by the laws
Of a gun and a knife
[Refrain:]
Within the perimeter of this world
I just don't feel real right
I'm livin' by the laws
Of a gun and a knife
My soul cannot be tamed
I'm livin' just to die
I'm living by myself
On the outskirts of life
Everything I say
Is for the make
I don't need no work
Cause I'm stealin' everything
I hustle for my keep
I steal for my pay
Everything I do
Is what I do today
I'm comin' round
Take what I can take
(???)
But she's gonna be mine today
My soul cannot be tamed
Cause I'm livin' just to die
I'm livin' by myself
On the outskirts of life
[Refrain]
My soul cannot be tamed
I'm livin' just to die
I'm livin' by myself
On the outskirts of life
Around around and down
Live from state to state
I don't know where I'll be
From day to day
I'm on the road
Never slowin' down
Don't stop for nothin'
For my feet get hit the ground
I'm singin' with my gun
And I'm runnin' with the best
I don't care about nothin'
Cause I only care myself
Everything I do
Is what I wanna try
But I'm livin' by myself
On the outskirts of life
[Refrain]
With a gun and knife
That's all I need
I kiss that sweet knife
And I take her where I need
Got the word, getting ready
Gonna get my pay from ????
I'm in light, ????
When the action is hot, ????
No town, no city
Gonna be free from the jumping jack
Kiss of life, getting gritty
If the mule don't kick you know the mule don't ride
And I know, yes I know, well I know
That's the way to go
And I know, and I know
And I know that I'm gonna get it down the road
CHORUS:
Cause I'm living on a borrowed time
Do it your way, I'll do it mine
Living on a borrowed time
Don't need a shove, don't need a sign
Call me names, call me crazy
Don't try to stop me when I feel this way
It's a game, (whoopsy daisy?)
Here comes another girl to make my day
And I know, yes I know, well I know
That's the way to go
And I know, yes I know
I'm gonna get up when I'm up on the road

(So long, goodbye, good luck, au revoir baby)
(Look out people, never let me loose)
CHORUS
When I was younger
Living confusion and deep dispair
When I was younger ah hah
Living illusion of freedom and power
When I was younger
Full of ideas and broken dreams (my friend)
When I was younger ah hah
Everything simple but not so clear
Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow
Living on borrowed time

Another day - will always come
Go ahead - take it on
Losing faith - it ain't the same
Like giving up - and putting blame
Don't rely - on anyone
You wanna strike - get it done
It's all about - reducing pain
No risk my friend - you'll never gain
We're all - live on hope
That's why - don't let go
Will it pay - who would know
Oh, precious life
How you loved to lie to me
So recklessly fragile
So beyond my power to see
And yet so demanding
By making me believe
That I am standing
In the way of my own reprieve
That all our days are numbered
No matter the amount
Well, there's a first and then at last
There is finally the fact
That the numerals just don't count
And all our time is borrowed
No deposit, no return
And no promise of tomorrow or the next day
What was lent you can never earn
If I took care of you
And loved you all your days
I'd still have to let you go
?Cause nothing ever stays
You taught me to stand
And then you left the job to me
Now as a man
I'm finally forced to see
That all our days are numbered
No matter the amount
Well, there's a first and then at last
There is finally the fact
That the numerals just don't count
And all our time is borrowed
No deposit, no return
And no promise of tomorrow or the next day
What was lent you can never earn
What was lent you can never earn
What was lent you can never earn
It´s too late – here I am
Reached the end of the story
I`m taking all the pain
Face the fate – no regrets
I feel so tired
Leaving this insanity – screaming back in agony
Locked inside my destiny
Is this the way it has to be?
Won´t look back in anger now
Ride free
Can´t you see
What it really means
When you´re here to stay
Borrowed time
Agony
But not endlessly
You´ve been on your way
Borrowed time
What I´ve done – what I´ve been
Does it matter in that moment
When there´s no return?
In the end – all the same
Gone tonight Lost control of everything – know my trip
´s near to begin
Locked inside my destiny
Is this the way it has to be?
Won´t look back in anger now
Ride free
Can´t you see
What it really means
When you´re here to stay
Borrowed time
Agony
But not endlessly
You´ve been on your way
Borrowed time
Can´t you see
What it really means
When you´re here to stay
Borrowed time
Agony
But not endlessly
You´ve been on your way
Borrowed time
Ohhhhh
Its too late
Here I am
Here I am
What I have done
What I`ve been
There is no return
In the end
You keep searchin for yourself.
Your minds are far away.
You try to act just like them.
You always do what they say.
Use up today
Act your own way
Don't be one of them there's not so blind
You learn a lot in this life
And a bunch you never need to know
Now you're late for a destination
That you didn't choose to go
Walk, run, skip, or fly
Just to hurry up and wait
You can worry if you want to
But it's all sealed in the hands of fate
Broken dreams, I'm living on borrowed time
And I don't want to see it all just slide away
Yes, I could be losing pieces of my mind
But I'm playing it hard 'til my last day
Deal me in another hand
See what the cards say today
Stay in the game until the last draw
Nowhere to go anyway
Learn your lessons well my friends
Live every day like it's your last
We could build a future together
But we can't change the past
Broken dreams, I'm living on borrowed time
And I don't want to see it all just slide away
Yes, I could be losing pieces of my mind
But I'm playing it hard 'til my last day
Just remember this my friends
It ain't the years, it's the miles
There'll be many difficult hurdles
Tribulations and their trials
Smell the flowers, listen to the wind
Don't just take up space
Sometimes you don't see me smiling
But I really do love this place
Broken dreams, I'm living on borrowed time
And I don't want to see it all just slide away
Yes, I could be losing pieces of my mind
On scorched earth return me to be a simple man
I am destined by the gods to walk this land
An embittered poet, a slave to this black blade
Oh, my heart still searches for truth, a lost age
I have loved, I have lost
I have killed those who have loved me so
I have loved, at what cost
Lord, I don't know
I'm living on borrowed time
I'm living on borrowed time
These robes, purple royal, claim me their own
From a city lost in dust, I stand alone
Evil thoughts; evil minds; must I live like I do?
Without fear, on borrowed time she helps me through
I have loved, I have lost
I have killed those who have loved me so
I have loved, at what cost
Lord, I don't know
I'm living on borrowed time
I'm living on borrowed time
On scorched earth return me to be a simple man
I am destined by the gods to walk this land
To search for love, to search for love
All in my heart, is this enough love...
As Satan's child, I stand alone in hand
I'm a nomad of this desert, barren lands
My time is short, wild gods of air and sea
Stand by your corruption, and thrive by sorcery
I have loved, I have lost
I have killed those who have loved me so
I have loved, at what cost
Lord, I don't know
I'm living on borrowed time
I'm living on borrowed time
I'm living on borrowed time
[Chorus:]
Broken dreams I'll follow mine
To the end of my borrowed time
I've been walking down this road too long
Got my bags packed and I hit the door
Then I make a stop at the liquor store
Cause my will is weak but my whiskey is strong
[Verse 1:]
Yeah, through the fights, drama, and heartbreak yeah the winter is cold
I put my faith in the forgiveness every sinner is owed
Flashback when we was teens just beginning the road
Before the lights, camera, and action and the glittering gold
Before the 'caine spots, before the overdoses and aimed Glocks
Before my name popped, before the Navigator raindrops
Before I started back with the bad habits I can't stop
I said I'd keep going, told you I can't stop
And that's what made me who I am but it did us in
You can never see through the clouds my head is in
I was sick and got addicted to my medicine
I was a prick, I kept on kicking till they let us in
And once they let me in the door it was war
With the world I was sure couldn't go back to before
Ever since we were kids they said we shouldn't mix
And at the end we broke something that we couldn't fix
[Chorus:]
Broken dreams I'll follow mine
To the end of my borrowed time
I've been walking down this road too long
Got my bags packed and I hit the door
Then I make a stop at the liquor store
Cause my will is weak but my whiskey is strong
And it all just slips away
[Verse 2:]
I'm a man among boys that avoid their own truths
Always down to hang out, afraid of their own noose
No phone booth, can't change an ugly face
Tough stand tall then we duck when we gotta chase
Making up excuses but it's all useless
When I blame you for the damage that my youth did
Throwing up the deuces, easier to run away
Knowing that the rain's always followed by a sunny day
But a vaca's just a break from reality
Chasing a fallacy back then you're mad at me
Casually acting like we don't see the elephant
In the room but our friends all see the hell we been through
And we know a truce is irrelevant
Rip my heart out of my body, there's still a skeleton
My skull and bones represent a throne
I'm a stand strong when I move on, holla at me
[Chorus:]
Broken dreams I'll follow mine
To the end of my borrowed time
I've been walking down this road too long
Got my bags packed and I hit the door
Then I make a stop at the liquor store
Cause my will is weak but my whiskey is strong
And it all just slips away
[Verse 3:]
I used to have nothing at all but my word and my balls
It's the same thing that took me from nothing dog
All around the globe till they asked what the fuck is wrong
What's wrong is everything is real in these fucking songs
Sometimes I was it was an image to hop out of
And back into, maybe a gimmick to rock crowds with
But it's all the truth and it's something I'm not proud of
Everything I've done but I can't just opt out of
The pain I have caused, the 'caine, the chopped powder
The blame belongs to me, this game is not ours though
Maybe from the dirt then the flowers grow
Up amongst the weeds since a youngster greed
Agreed with every need that I need and so the speed
Will eventually just not be fast enough for me
It's kind of crazy, once upon a time I was just my momma's baby
Look at how this ice cold winter when it made me
When it when it gave me icy cold demeanour?, meaner
Wifey throws me out, I love her, I need her
What else can I do except go drink another liter?
I'm not a follower, I've always been a leader
I wish I had some inspirational speech to read you
But I don't, I'm just a failure
Worshipped like I'm Jesus by some but look at this cross I'm nailed to
[Chorus:]
Broken dreams I'll follow mine
To the end of my borrowed time
I've been walking down this road too long
Got my bags packed and I hit the door
Then I make a stop at the liquor store
Cause my will is weak but my whiskey is strong
I'm looking back on a time when I could say I actually thought I cared about you
But after everything I've been put though
I realise that I've been living with false hope
It's drowning out my senses
It's drowning out my thoughts
This has got oh so confusing
And I've only got myself to blame
I can't believe...oh what was I thinking
I've only got my self to blame
You mean nothing to me
And you never fucking did
I can't stand to listen to your excuses anymore
I can only pray that you feel so alone
A guilty conscience hangs over your head
I can't believe...oh what was I thinking
I've only got myself to blame
But maybe I'm the only one to blame in all of this
I used to shine the perfect borrowed light
It wasn't mine and it was taking over night
Shame traces the edges of your face
Fully lit, independent of this place
Old enough to see
How diamond wedding rings
Has counterfeited things
I've been borrowed
Shame on me
My muse is gone, forsaken of the theme
No motto now--no cradle, no dream
Bathed with a soft, embezzled light
Six feet below an idealistic love
But I still want these things
Flighted childhood dreams
As foolish as they seem
I've been taken
Shame on me
I used to shine
It wasn't mine
Shame, shame, shame
Fully lit
Now only sweet little wishful things
Are bound and gagged, tied up in different strings
No living castles up in the sky
Following unbothered clouds go by
And I've been taken
Shame on me
But I still want these things
Flighted childhood dreams
As foolish as they seem
I've been taken
Standing in the doorway of forgiveness
Just like a sinner in the sun
Like the sky abover her, she's a hard lover
But she don't know which way to run
We're only here
We're only here
We're only here on borrowed time
We're only here
We're only here
We're only here on borrowed time
If I took too much for granted
The dark must come before the light
Like the years that follow
They leave me hollow
God knows I need you by my side
We're only here
We're only here
We're only here on borrowed time
We're only here
We're only here
We're only here on borrowed time
I know my days with you are numbered
But when the dust around has cleared
Then you'll discover I'm a hard lover
And you've got nothing left to fear
We're only here
We're only here
We're only here on borrowed time
We're only here
We're only here
Hanging on the corner living on borrowed time
Taking my chances stepping out over the line
Always trying to tell me
You're coming to the end of the line
One day you'll push your luck too far
You're living on borrowed time
Living on borrowed time
Every day fighting for what's mine
Living life one foot over the line
Living on borrowed time
Don't talk about the future I might never see the day
I don't wanna be trapped here no I don't wanna stay
It's this life that I want more of that's what I got to say
Its up to you, you can come along or get the hell out of the way
Living on borrowed time
Every day fighting for what's mine
Living life one foot over the line
Living on borrowed time
Got reasons I should stay here and reasons I should go
If you try to push me there's one thing you should know
There's a man standing right in front of you with a fire in his eyes
And if you try to push him well I wouldn't even try
Thick as thieves the last of leaves
In the winter sun
Holding fast this freezing branch
Is home to us
Step, step right over the line
And onto borrowed time
When it's life, not waiting to die
Waiting to divide, to divide
Counting stars and passing cars
On the interstate
The end is near, I feel it dear
But I am not afraid
Step, step right over the line
And onto borrowed time
When it's life, not waiting to die
Waiting to divide, to divide
But you say you?re getting tired
You?re tired and so am I
When you follow from behind
Step, step right over the line
And onto borrowed time
When it's life, not waiting to die
Waiting to divide, to divide
But you say you?re getting tired
Well, you?re tired and so am I
Ooh - when it comes to violence
I think the world will crash any day, anyway - sad to say.
Ooh - when it comes to hatred
I feel the hope is gone, sad to say - but I think that it's true.
Look around you can't you see the signs?
Open your eyes, cant you see the lies?
Hand in hand, together, violence and bigotry
Together, forever in perfect harmony...
Borrowed time - precious time - living on borrowed time
Precious time - you're living on - borrowed time
Can't you read between the lines?
Borrowed time, is this the end?
Living on borrowed time, you got to read between the lines?
Ooh - when it comes to the truth, yeah
Do you really think that they would tell you, oh no...
Ooh - you're slowly fading away
Remember what I say; remember who's claiming to be your friend...
Borrowed time - precious time - living on borrowed time
Precious time - you're living on borrowed time
Can't you read between the lines?
Ooh - when it comes to the truth, yeah
Do you really think that they would tell you - oh no...
They will tell you all is fine, everything is gonna be alright
Just close your eyes, swallow the lies and fly away - just fly away...
Try to understand - you common man
Try to understand - the world is insane
Read between the lines - you common man
Just silence, from the thunder
The reflection of a life
Can't reveal the light inside
But it's no wonder
Never took the chance to say
For whatever reasons why
Good intentions aren't enough
Can't afford to put them off anymore
But there's nothing to do to make it right
Cause the path of our fate won't be turned aside
Can't expect anyone to understand
But the answer is in your hands
'Cause it's borrowed time
When's the dime running out
Yes it's borrowed time
Just so much life
Without a doubt
Only borrowed time
Who decides, I wonder why
I can't say goodbye
Daylight casts my shadow like the rest
Cause the world keeps going on
And I know that from beyond
You feel my helplessness
But if you were standing here
You would laugh about my fears
Like you always did before
You demanded nothing else
Than you ever save yourself
So what am I frightened for
You were the one
To lead the way
Never fooled by the lights
That lead us all astray
And the last one to think
The worst of things
Doesn't change what
Tomorrow brings
'Cause it's borrowed time
When's the dime running out
Yes it's borrowed time
Just so much life
Without a doubt
Only borrowed time
Who decides, I wonder why
Every fight needs mending
Every start has an end
Like the sunrise and the sunset
Thats just how it is
Love on borrowed time
Will never be yours nor mine
I need you like you need me
The way we ought to be
Oh, its good to be true,
If our hopes and dreams come true
Wish that I had more
of this borrowed time
If only it would last a lifetime.
This bitterness inside
Is an empty space I hide
It never satisfies
Living my life in a lie
Love on borrowed time
Will never be yours nor mine
Ill just close my eyes
And it will be alright
Oh, its good to be true,
If our hopes and dreams come true
Wish that I had more
of this borrowed time
If only it would last a lifetime.
Bridge:
Now that youve gone away
You seem so close
But youre miles and miles away
Oh, its good to be true,
If our hopes and dreams come true
Wish that I had more
of this borrowed time
If only it would last.
Oh, its good to be true,
If our hopes and dreams come true
Wish that I had more
of this borrowed time
If only it would last.
Oh, its good to be true,
If our hopes and dreams come true
Wish that I had more
of this borrowed time
I lived fifty-four dollars today
I threw all of my chances away
To get what I want
To be all that I dream
Chalk one more up for the American scream
[Chorus:]
Less life by the hour
Life on a dime!
Whose dime? Not ours
On borrowed time!
Time to find out how far we will go
To paint a pretty picture
To star in our own show
To get ahead and wake the dead and pay the fucking rent
The road is paved with glory days and memories of all the life that has
been spent
[Chorus]
On borrowed time
Time's up!
And what's the chance that we'll reap what we have sown?
Harvest youthful idealism from the direction we have grown?
Are you punching the clock or is it punching you?
I don't know how you're holding up, but man, I'm nursing one hell of a bruise
[Chorus]
How will we be?
Will we be free?
Will we still dream of all the endless possibilities?
Will we still laugh?
Will we still cry?
Will we still change our minds?
Will we still wonder why?
Will you remember me?
Hey, uh, babe
Sweet, uh, baby
Come on, come on, my bay-ay-by
Lay right down, relax, unwind
Ooh, boy I know just how you feel
With a girl, straight forward & so real
Come real close
And don't be shy
I'll give you good love
Don't ask me why, yeah
Ooh, I feel what I say
Believe it, I'm real
Ain't no time to be fake
I see what I want
And I go for mine
So come get it now
Don't ask questions 'til the end
(Chorus)
Ooh-wee, you look so good
Won't you party wit me if you could
Hold me, kiss me, squeeze me tight
Let's make love all day & night
Ooh, boy, take my hand
I'll make sure you're soon a man
Lay right down, relax, unwind
I want your soul, your body, your mind
I want the kind of love that drive me [crazy]
Can you give me that, my big strong [baby]
The kind of love I will always [feel]
What I finds whenever you're [near]
Feels so good my knees are shakin'
But this here is for the takin'
Let's get wild & don't be shy
Love so real, you'll scream all night
(Chorus)
Ooh, I say what I feel
And I feel what I say
Believe it, I'm real
Ain't no time for me, boo, to be fake
I see what I want
And ya know I gotta go for mine
So come get it now
Don't you ask me no questions
(Chorus)
(My knees are shakin')
You look so good
Won't you party wit me if you could
Hold and squeeze me tight
Let's make love all day & night
(My knees are shakin')
Take my hand
I'll make sure you're soon a man
Lay right down, relax, unwind
You can't change people with your fist
For you I'll make an exception
You will be the example
Forever change your perception
It seems you've made this a habit
And now it's time for me to break
I've got what you've been asking for
And now it's time for you to take
You will run and I will find
Now you live on borrowed time....
To make amends and be forgiven
Means more than you'll ever know
Your words have come back to haunt you
Tolerance fades as anger grows
Just remember when you're scared
And you've got nowhere left to go
Mercy is something unknown
To one who smiles when breaking bones - YOUR BONES
You will run and I will find
Now you live on borrowed time....
Lies + anger + hate = pain
You will run and I will find
So many questions I don't really know the answers
Too many secrets I just wanna know the truth
There is talk on the street asking why are we here today
I hear a sound and I can feel the light surround me
Call and I'll be there now that change is on the way
So I'm dead on my feet I was born to believe
Say the words I wanna hear
And you run, run helpless
When are you gonna come round?
This is the last time
This is the last time
Living on borrowed time
Where do we turn when they say black is white
Are we the victims when they cover up the lies
There are so many things that I don't understand anymore
We live and learn in the dark of night
Are we to blame it's a struggle to survive
So we all make mistakes there are no guarantees
Just say the things I wanna hear
And you run, run helpless
When are you gonna come round?
This is the last time
This is the last time
And you run, run helpless
When are you gonna come round?
This is the last time
This is the last time
Living on borrowed time
And you run, run helpless
When are you gonna come round?
This is the last time
This is the last time
And you run, run helpless
When are you gonna come round?
This is the last time
This is the last time
It's morning.
And you're still right here w/ me. I wish you could call in and take off the
rest of the week. I know your girls thinking, Where in the hell can you be?
With the good love that you're giving to me. It's a shame you've got to leave
me baby.
Chorus
You don't belong to me.
And I don't belong to you.
No matter how hard we try, We're still on borrowed time.
You still go home to her.
So you don't belong to me.
I know it feel so right we're still on borrowed time.
You gotta stop calling me and telling me I'm where you'd rather be it's been
19 week. And you're still playing your games everyday...oh oh I would never
ever want to hurt her no no, so I'll take the initiative and let you go.
Until you're ready to come home to me yea yeah.
chorus
You don't belong to me.
And I don't belong to you.
I know it feel so right we're still on borrowed time.
You still go home to her.
So you can't belong to me.
Although it feel so right. We're still on borrowed time.
Somehow (I wish I'd fine)
To make you, ( and I mean) all mine.
You feel (so good)
How good (to good)
My heart say's there no use because you're leaving soon.
We're never get away. It's killing me day by day. But it's killing me oh yes
it killing me cause I know that you're feeling me baby.
Chorus (until fade)
Come and sit here by my side
For our time will soon be gone
And these tears I cannot hide
For it's your turn to move on
I know you were never really mine
You were given to me
On borrowed time
Now I shall stay here on my own
For I know you've been
Called home
Chorus
Turn out the light
And let me love you
One more night
Hold me tight
Oh baby
Tell me everything
Is gonna be alright
Now I know I must be strong
For what else can I do
Won't be easy to go on
For I must learn to live
Without you
I know that life cannot be bought
And there's nothing I should fear
For you'll go no further than God
And God is very near
Turn out the light
And let me love you
One more night
Hold me tight
Oh baby
Tell me everything
Is gonna be alright
Is gonna be alright
Now it's time to let go
It's just part of the plan
So many answers we don't know
But some day we'll understand
Someday
Turn out the light
And let me love you
One more night
Hold me tight
Oh baby
Tell me everything
Is gonna be
Alright
Turn out the light
And let me love you
One more night
Hold me tight
Oh baby
Tell me everything
We talk every once in a while
But really nothings said at all
Thoughts and feelings fill my head
That just can’t seem to be said
So they all just drift away
And I guess there just words
They don’t matter anyway
Most days anymore there just a blur
Pictures in my mind of a time gone by
There not mine
I’m living on borrowed time
Just living on borrowed time
And that day will come when I stand before my King
I hope he remembers some of the good things
Not all my wrong all the bad that I’ve done
All the times I didn’t look back to follow my own path
The one that leaves you broken and never last
Mistakes I’ve made along the way
All the times I didn’t pray for who needed me
But that’s really just who I am
Just a broken man
Most of my days anymore
There just a blur
Just pictures in my mind
Of a time long gone by
And dreams there for suckers and fools
A few lucky ones break the rules
And maybe they win
But that’s just not me
I could gain the world and still not see
Anything good without you
Just a broken fool
And that day will come when I stand before my King
I hope he remembers some of the good things
Not all my wrong all the bad that I’ve done
All the times I didn’t look back to follow my own path
The one that leaves you broken and never last
Mistakes I’ve made along the way
All the times I didn’t pray for who needed me
But that’s really just who I am
Just a broken man
I wanna lay down right beside you
In your arms and try to sleep
Let my eyes just fade away
To your gentle heart beat
Run your fingers through my hair
Please stay right here
Just let me breathe
Feel your warm skin next to me
How just your touch makes me feel
Takes my air away
I’m so lost in you
I can’t say in words how much I love you
Right here is where I need you to be
I’m living on borrowed time
Just living on borrowed time
And we talk every once in a while
But really nothings said at all
Thoughts and feelings fill my head
That just can’t seem to be said
So they all just drift away
And I guess there just words
They don’t matter anyway
And that day will come when I stand before my King
I hope he remembers some of the good things
Not all my wrong all the bad that I’ve done
I’m living on borrowed time
[Raw J]
Around me time was swirling
At a cafe where joy and pain were converging, a life-less serpent
Thought I summoned him in vein, in the wind and rain
Standing on-top this epitaph of pain
Heard the "whisper of death"
Couldn't bear to hear more
Instantly poured two sips upon this cafe floor
Gravity he carried pulled my soul to skins edges
Horrifying sketches etched into my memory
Bottomless graves was his demand
Could stop the sand in glass that's why I live fast
But my saga continues as the sun rises
Somberly we engaged, this phantom which I now had to gauge
What's your sequence, plan or arrangement?
Now is not your time
Find what you going to find
Your friends lived well, but this is how I live mine
This is how I live mine...
[Oatmeal]
I stay awake in my sleep
and I slumber in my conscience
40 days and 40 nights
that's my visitation rights
uncontrollable urge, predestined is my plan
I walk the earth and wait my turn for my chance to meet the man
But that's a mystery to me beyond popular belief
And I'm open to opinion, anything to ease the grief
The price it's way too steep
You wanna by your way in
I keep my fate prices buried deep beneath my skin
In the midst of discussion, youre fussin who's right or wrong
I find myself alone without a place to call my own
So as I breathe this borrowed time
Footsteps dont follow mine
For in my shadow its cold
Time folds a crease in my mind
Blind leads the crippled
The crippled deaf in the streets
A pocket full of insight, a look at defeat
I keep an even slow pace on this concrete
Thinking about my peeps and how I feel
Somebody punched the wrong clock on my folks
How do we cope?
Young tope said to live and let die
Until one of his own fell outta sight…
[Side B]
And I was born when I stopped breathin
When my heart stopped I started livin
Stepped outside this prison
Made of cold flesh and brittle bones that once provided
Shelter to my spirit, but fate decided where chance
And circumstance coincided, my trance was now
Locked in permanent
This indiscriminate force takes course with no determinants..
I was a candidate ever since I had this thing called life
A boarding pass for some folks was a murderer's knife
I'd die to live, but cant grasp this paradoxy
Destiny was overlooked by the scalpels of autopsies
In crowded churchyards we bury pain and grief
Instead of loved ones, exhausted physical tabs
In time inscribes names upon concrete slabs
Placed above their tombs but below their souls
Flatlined but resurrected in minds of those who spent time
Before his stopped
My tears lagged behind emotions of guilt, but the pain made sure
That he wasn't forgot, that I wasn't forgot, that you wasn't forgot
I'm not theirs in product or in name
But I've got no true discretion I can speak of
You can make your own distinctions but it's all the fucking same
It's servitude for someone else's sake
And I dream I'm gonna give'em the old heave ho!
And my every thought turns to overthrow (Let's go!)
And I strive to bite the hand that's feeding me at last
And carry on the banner of the working class
When I'm dead on my feet or shackled to the beat
I'm always looking back over my shoulder
They make me paranoid and relegate me to defeat
A fate that fits me like an oak box
The long hard days of dead monotony
The foreman looking down, so paternal
I'll curse the fucking hours cause I know they're not for me
I've been a drifter most all my life
Just a restless renegade that can't be tied
I am gambler a dangerous rambler
Keep these steel wheels rollin' and a six string by my side
Gotta bottle by my bed
To drown the voices in my head
That try to steer me clear of doin' wrong
If you play with fire they say
You're gonna get burned one day
Hell, I already feel a heat wave comin' on
CHORUS
I know I'm livin' on borrowed time
Livin' like a rebel playin' outlaw music
Havin' the time of my life
Better lock me up throw away the key
If you call that a crime
'Cause that's the way I'll do it till I die
Livin' on borrowed time
There's ain't no lady that could ever save me
Made myself a vow that I'd never cross that line
It might be a mistake, that's just the path I take
But there's room for two if you wanna take the ride
