You get up in the morning and you make your way to town While the city is a-sleeping you already move around You never ever thought about it any other way
Life's short, time is ticking and there's bills to pay
You hurry home to sit alone you're staring at the screen Your family lives a different life it's one you've never seen You never stopped to think about the reason why You're a dead man running on borrowed time
Every day is just the same, it's all about the dough (doh) Time is quickly passing by, it's gone before you know You never ever entertained any other way
Life's short, time is ticking as it runs away
Big house, full bar, holidays, a jaguar
New clothes, old foes, anything that costs goes You're moving up or so you think, outta luck another drink dead man running on borrowed time
So you wake up in the morning it's the only way you see You're running from the demons and you never be free never you could look at it but any other way
Like a flash before your eyes, your life it ends today
Get your self together now, the day it has arrived You lived your life so quickly that you never realized Nothing's what you think it is, cos years ago you died You were a dead man running on borrowed time
