Borrowing Time

Get up, the needle has pricked a little finger
She wants the beautiful child the blood will bring her
You ask a question in the mirror
Alas, no answer could be clearer

Get up (get up), you’re borrowing time
Get up (get up), you’re borrowing time

Get up, a substitute artist just reprieved you
Beware, for flattery ruses have deceived you
No kings of yesterday falling
But you’ll come when destiny’s calling

Get up (get up), you’re borrowing time
Get up (get up), you’re borrowing time

I don’t want anything anyway
I was happy with what I had yesterday
Who wants the whole weight of the world
When it’ll drag you down, underground?

Today she’s singing a song called Hallelujah
You stay, she’s bringing the poison apple to you
Sun’s up and reveille’s playing
You know what everyone’s saying

Get up (get up), you’re borrowing time
Get up (get up), you’re borrowing time
Get up (get up), you’re borrowing time
Get up (get up), you’re borrowing time
