Pokey LaFarge - In The Blossom of Their Shade

Killing Time

I made a tugboat fly, made a python crawl
I'm so cold, I turned summer into fall
Made the thunder sing, put lightning in a jar
Done everything there is to do, except go too far

I'm killing time, it ain't killing me
I'm killing time, it ain't killing me
When I die, you better second line
But for now
I'm killing time, it ain't killing me
Dum-Dum-Dum-Dum Di-Di-Di
Dum-Da-Da-Dum-Dum-Dum
Made the weak feel strong, kings look like fools
The teacher gave me straight A's, I didn't even go to school
I juggled sorrow like it was a toy
I lived the life of a hundred men, when I was still a boy

I'm killing time, it ain't killing me
I'm killing time, it ain't killing me
When I die, you better second line
But for now
I'm killing time, it ain't killing me
Dum-Dum-Dum-Dum Di Di Di Di
Dum-Da-Da-Dum-Dum-Dum

I squeezed water from a turnip, lemonade from the sun
Fought a war on two fronts, didn't even have a gun
But I think I'll take it easy now, and cash in my chips
Kick up my feet, boys, and collect my tips

I'm killing time, it ain't killing me
I'm killing time, it ain't killing me
When I die, you better second line
But for now
I'm killing time, it ain't killing me
Dum-Dum-Dum-Dum Di-Di-Di-Di
Dum-Da-Da-Dum-Dum-Dum
Oh well
Dum-Dum-Dum-Dum Di-Di-Di-Di
Dum-Da-Da-Dum-Dum-Dum
