Lyrics
Borrowing Time
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Get up, the needle
has pricked a little finger.
She wants the beautiful child
the blood will bring her.
You ask a question in the mirror.
??? no answer could be clearer.
Get up, get up, you're borrowing time.
Get up, get up, you're borrowing time.
Get up, a substitute artist just reprieved you
Beware the flattery ruses have deceived you.
The kings of yesterday falling,
But you'll come when destiny's calling.
Get up, get up, you're borrowing time.
Get up, get up, you're borrowing time.
I don't want anything anyway.
I was happy with what I had yesterday.
Who wants the whole weight of the world
when it'll drag you down underground?
Today she's singing a song called Hallelujah
You stay, she's bringin' the poison apple to you.
??? reverie's playing
??? everyone's singing.
Get up, get up, you're borrowing time.
Get up, get up, you're borrowing time.
Get up, get up, you're borrowing time.
Get up, get up, you're borrowing time.
