Lyrics
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
