Making A Killing
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.
Cut your losses
Cut your ties
Start a new life
These things they can tie you up, weigh you down
Wear you in then wear you out
One day you could find yourself suddenly
Underneath a guillotine
You'll have to answer up for
What you want and what that means
That's the difference between
Breaking the bank and
Just breaking even
Making a living and
Making a killing
Why don't you buy yourself a gift for the work you've been putting in
Maybe a little something you could toss in that pit
Of emptiness you're pregnant with
Or maybe you could go and lose yourself altogether
Nothing's getting any better
Oh, no!
Is that what you really want when all is said and done with me?
That's the difference between
Breaking the bank and
Just breaking even
Making a living and
Making a killing
Like bills in a short stack
And bills to the ceiling
Making a living and
Making a killing
Well I found myself suddenly
Underneath the guillotine
For heaven's sake, I'm here, I'm willing
Let's make everyone a killing!
