Killing Time is our hymn on killing time. As Suicide's Alan Vega said: “Get up, real lazy, go outside, watching television, eat, fool around, make some music, make some art whatever, watch some ball game, I don’t know, essentially the same thing every day.” In other words, what can be wrong with killing time. Like the famous expression: Killing time ain't no crime.
“Get up, real lazy, go outside, watching television, eat, fool around, make some music, make some art whatever, watch some ball game, I don’t know, essentially the same thing every day.” (Alan Vega)
lyrics
killing time
make up,
the times you want to shake up,
the days you want to break up.
mind up,
the thoughts you want to give up,
you got to go through the hours.
so killing time,
on that lazy heart of mine,
oh killing time,
it ain’t no crime.
last summer,
speeding up the highway,
shouting down the skyway.
ever,
waiting all together,
and burning up forever.
but you know,
like I know,
it’s a no-go.
so killing time,
on that heavy heart of mine,
oh killing time,
it ain't no crime.
