You hung your head and you wore regret in a borrowed suit and tie You looked as good to me as the day I said goodbye In all my life I swore that I'd never see the day you'd cry But you walked away in tears and chains l Locked up, killin' time Killin' time for playin' dirty Killin' time for tellin' a lie You don't have to admit you hurt me I can see it in your eyes You were good at spendin' that money Not good at spendin' a life So you count your days payin' for your ways Locked up killin' time What a sad state of mind when you told a lie just by lookin' away And sadder still when you find the will to cross it every day What a grand mistake when you plan To make a dollar from a dishonest dime Well you can see there's no reprieve locked up, killin' time Killin' time for playin' dirty Killin' time for tellin' lies You don't have to admit you hurt me I can see it in your eyes You were good at spendin' that money Not good at spendin' a life So you count your days payin' for your ways Locked up killin' time Yes you count your days payin' for your ways Locked up killin' time
