Hangin' out on the corner - he's got no place to go She sits in an empty bedroom - playin' the radio Everyday regretting all the things they never tried Everyday they're dyin' just a little bit more inside
All the lonely people waiting all their lives They're empty and they're achin', you can see it in their eyes
CHORUS: Time is slippin' away, it's just passin' 'em by They're wondering why, but it's gone Gone forever my friend and it won't come again So don't try to pretend you feel fine Killing Time, Killing Time
You feel it's now or never - but the words don't seem to come The fabric of your dreams starts to come undone You realize it's over before it has begun You're reaching for something special, but that someone never comes
You're on your own, now, but you're living out a lie This Killing Time is wasting you, I can see it in your eyes
CHORUS
The time we waste on hate, full of anger and jealosy At times we act so cruel, all the time your turned on me All those lonely yesterdays when we were Killing Time I needed you more than ever, couldn't you see it in my eyes Time was slippin' away, passin' us by, now I could cry, 'cause it's gone Gone forever my friend, and it won't come again It's moved on and left us behind
