(CHORUS)

I'm just - KILLIN' TIME 'n' reason - foolin' myself
Some barfly keeps dronin' - he thinks I'm on the shelf

I gotta sneakin' dark suspicion - it's over - fini-to - you 'n' me
But I got memories to drink to - to cling to
I still - gotta dream

Funny how love slips through your fingers - like grains of sand
I'm losin' - slow 'n' surely - my man
Ev'rything seems to be uncertain - bar one thing - the hurtin'
My tears I try to hide - my wounded pride - sees you makin' whoopee

(LAST CHORUS)

Baby - I'm busy KILLIN' TIME 'n' reason - feelin' so sad
The barfly keeps on dronin' - now he don't look so bad
Heh, mister: Can ya gimme a light
