Killing 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.
When you're pleasure seeking
I'm left killing time
It's a homicide
A ritual
Don't treat a human like that
You're very smart
You ignite my flame
After all is said and done
Baby you're the only one
I don't get jealous
But when you say you love me
I only half believe
But baby
I could never leave
Right now is all I want
Right here
Here is where you belong
With me
As long as you stay
With me
You'll see
I'm real good company
Sleight of hand
The way you play your tricks
You cheat on me
All the time
But I turn my back
Cos we had
Some
Good times
Here is where you belong
With me
As long as you stay
With me
You'll see
I'm real good company
