Borrowed Time

(album: Carnival Of Excess - 1995)

Living on the streets
I ain't got a dime
People look at me and say
I'm living on borrowed time

Everything I own
Isn't worth a dime
Spend all my time
And my money getting' high

I don't really care
About what people say and do
I live my life
By my own set of rules

Everything I do
I'm living just to die
I'm living by the laws
Of a gun and a knife

Within the perimeter of this world
I just don't feel real right
I'm living by the laws
Of a gun and a knife

My soul cannot be tamed
I'm living just to die
I'm living by myself
On the outskirts of life

Everything I say
Is for the make
I don't need no work
Cause I'm stealing everything

I hustle for my keep
I steal for my pay
Everything I do
Is what I do today

I'm coming round
Take what I can take
[?]
But she's gonna be mine today

My soul cannot be tamed
Cause I'm living just to die
I'm living by myself
On the outskirts of life

Within the perimeter of this world
I just don't feel real right
I'm living by the laws
Of a gun and a knife

My soul cannot be tamed
I'm living just to die
I'm living by myself
On the outskirts of life

Around around and down
Live from state to state
I don't know where I'll be
From day to day

I'm on the road
Never slowing down
Don't stop for nothing
For my feet get hit the ground

I'm singing with my gun
And I'm running with the best
I don't care about nothing
Cause I only care myself

Everything I do
Is what I wanna try
But I'm living by myself
On the outskirts of life

Within the perimeter of this world
I just don't feel real right
I'm living by the laws
Of a gun and a knife

With a gun and knife
That's all I need
I kiss that sweet knife
And I take her where I need
...
