I’m getting away with murder
Cause I’m just killing time
The only thing we can’t buy
The one thing we can’t save
And at the end

The one thing we wish more of
Time is so precious
And we’re all murderess
But me, I’m so guilty of this
Enough for two lifetimes

My friends say I’m lazy
Some even say I’m crazy
Cause I’m killing time

No matter how hard we try
To stop it or slow it
Time moves on and on and on
Ticking away second to days
Days to years
And we all say “where did the time go?”

Killing time should be a crime
Really should be
So lock me up
Lock me up and throw away the key
Cause I’m a guilty as guilty as can be

I’m getting away with murder
Cause I’m just killing time
And I want to know
How many of you are guilty of this crime
Lock me up and throw away the key
Cause I’m a guilty as guilty as can be.
