Borrowed Time Songtext
von Brass Camel

Minute by minute
Mile by mile
These days getting from end to end
Of the town takes a little while

Get down to business
Until the deal is done
Might have to lose a few battles
Before the war is won

Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
The unholy union
Of drive and greed and guts
You′ll get yours
And I'll get mine
Living on borrowed time

Cheap thrills a plenty
Bills overdue
Maxed out the plastic
Walking down fifth avenue


You can bite the bullet
And stick to your plan
Still a lot of people with promise
End up nothing but a flash in the pan

Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
The unholy union
Of drive and greed and guts
You′ll get yours
And I'll get mine
Living on borrowed time

Living on borrowed
Time
Waits for no-one
Time
For me or you
Time
Waits for no one
And that's nothing new


Killer instinct
And burning the midnight oil
The scythe is remorseless
To the victor go the spoils
Yet if you go looking far and wide
You might find your sign

Until then you′re living on borrowed time
