Time is a killer and I’m always waiting
Waiting for what you know I must decide
You were the king but you so deceived them
You sold them a truth, but you filled it with lies
Time is killing me
Time is killing me

You came along just at the right time
Just when I was out of my mind
I slipped my hand in God’s only pocket
Only to find this message in there
Time is killing you
Time is killing you

Why are you waiting for the things you cannot see
There’s a killer he’s on the road now and he’s coming for you and me
Oh here it comes now
Time is killing me
Time is killing me

Now we’ve come to this final hour
The bell is tolling it’s tolling for me
Six white horses standing in this line
Coming to carry me carry me home

Time is killing me
Time is killing me
This is a dream a dream of a lifetime
This is the dream to carry me home

Cruising on the Westside, don’t you know
Cruising on the Eastside, well it ain’t easy
Going down, going down, going down slow
Don’t tell me things that I already know
I said don’t tell me things that I already know
The fools are out there, they be coming down
There ain’t no stopping them now
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I been pounding, I’ve been driving
Oh, it’s really knocking me out
I’ve been crying, I been reaching
Oh, but I ain’t selling out
It’s such an empty feeling, oh and it’s already here now
And the things that their stealing
Are the things that you know should fear now

Here comes the payback, just like James said
Oh, it ain’t gonna be easy
This one’s for Detroit now, don’t you know
Going down, going down, going down slow
It be going down, going down, going down slow
It be going down, going down, going down slow
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I’m burning, burning my mind now, I’m burning, burning my mind now
Oh, won’t you hear me, oh, won’t you hear me
I’m blowing, blowing my mind out, and I’m blowing, blowing my mind out
Oh, won’t you hear me, why won’t you hear me?
You tell me what you’re trying to do
My mind’s so lost around you
Don’t you believe it, don’t you believe what they say
I ain’t changing, changing my mind now, I ain’t changing, changing my mind now
Oh, won’t you hear me, oh, won’t you hear me 

I’m wrapping my mind around it, and I’m wrapping my mind around it
Oh, won’t you hear me, oh, won’t you hear me 
You tell me what you’re trying to do
My mind’s so lost around you
Don’t you believe it, don’t you believe what they say
Hey, hey, hey

I’m leaving now on the morning train
And I won’t be back, no I won’t be back again
I’m blowing, blowing my mind out, I’m blowing, blowing my mind out
Oh, won’t you hear me, oh, won’t you hear me, oh won’t you hear me now
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la

Turning my night into day
I know what you all say
But this is the reason the fact not the fiction
That’s all I got to say
I know that it’s down to me, your charm is your disease
It ain’t my addiction, this ain’t my affliction you see

Knowing that it’s sounding insane
My mind is shifting my brain
But this is the reason the fact not the fiction
That’s all I got to say
I know it’s down to me, your charm is your disease
And it ain’t my addiction, this ain’t my affliction you see

You gotta decide, well who you’re letting into your life
I don’t want no monkey woman coming ‘round after me
Oh yeah

Practiced at the art of deceiving
I can tell by your line of believers
But this is the reason the fact not the fiction
That’s all I got to say
I know that it’s down to me, your charm is your disease
Well it ain’t my addiction this ain’t my affliction you see

You gotta decide well who you’re letting into your life
I don’t want no monkey woman coming ‘round after me
Oh yeah, oh yeah

You gotta decide, well who you’re letting into your life
I don’t want no monkey woman coming ‘round after me
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Meanwhile I was thinking

Sitting here at Jimmy’s
Tired of wandering around
Reminds me of my destiny coming to this town
You know it’s not too rough for me
And too much ain’t enough you see
Ah, oh oh, ah huh

Energized and stoned
Don’t try and throw me a bone
Staying at the El Cortez, everything going to my head
You know it’s not too rough for me
And too much ain’t enough you see
Ah huh, ah huh
This ain’t changing anything, no this ain’t changing anything
No this ain’t changing anything I know

Now I ain’t gonna pretend, you lose another friend
Take me back to a different time, me and Bobby were getting high
You know it’s not too rough for me
And too much ain’t enough you see
Ah huh, ah, huh

This ain’t changing anything, this ain’t changing anything
No, this ain’t changing anything I know
This ain’t changing anything,  no this ain’t changing anything
No this ain’t changing anything I know
I know what I know, I know what I know, I know what I know

Walls of time I’ll make my stand
Tell me now would you understand
My only hope now this is my reality, oh my reality
Everybody tries to tell me the things I just ain’t seeing
Fear this fear now, it’s the hand of fate on you
Oh the hands on you
Breaking down the walls of heartache one more time
I’ll be breaking down the walls of the heartache of my mind
My, my mind
Oh yeah. the best is yet to come
Oh they tell me the best is yet to come

Words and words and they keep saying
Now tell me boy why do you keep playing
All I know is, I’m raring to go, I’m raring to go
Breaking down the walls of heartache one more time
I’ll been breaking down the walls of heartache in my mind
Breaking down the walls of heartache one more time
I’ll been breaking down the walls of heartache in my mind
My, my,  my mind
Oh, they say now the best is yet to come
Oh, they tell me the best is yet to come
I’m raring to go, oh I ‘m raring to go
I’m raring to go right now, now, now, now, now, now, now

Ask me once, and please don’t ask again
Where I’m going, and mostly where I’ve been
Maybe it’s just too long a time I been rambling in this world
You say you got some solutions, but it seems that you lost the pearl
One by one you know we all keep falling down
There’ll be no more tears when daylight comes around
Comes around, oh please come around

Hey there little girl, come on take a chance with me
I don’t know where we’re going, or what we gonna be
Maybe it’s just too long a time I been rambling in this world
You say you got some solutions, but it seems that you lost the pearl
One by one you know we all keep falling down
There’ll be no more tears when daylight comes around
Come around, oh please come around

You say I’m defeated by fate, oh I can’t change it
Sometimes you know you just got to wait, and play what you’re dealt now
Oh, just play what you’re dealt now, oh just play what you’re dealt now
One by one, two by two, don’t let the dream slip away from you
Don’t ‘cha do it now, oh don’t ‘cha do it now

Take me where the tall grasses grow
Gonna find me a piece of the Kokomo
Tell me now, oh baby just show me how
C’mon tell me now, oh baby won’t you show me how
Hey, hey, yeah

I’m gonna walk a million miles again
I’m gonna find me a road that’s got no bends
Tell me now, oh baby just show me how
Come on, tell me now, oh baby just show me how
Hey, hey, yeah

How many times must I try to explain
Trouble coming down like a pouring rain
It’s like a pouring rain right now
It’s like a pouring rain

How many times must I try to explain
Trouble coming down like a pouring rain
It’s like a pouring rain right now, It’s like a pouring rain
It’s like a pouring rain right now, it’s like a pouring rain

Everybody knows it’s nowhere, it’s easy if you try
Can’t escape the longtime threat, and still you wonder why
Oh, still you wonder why

The voice was soft and warm, message very clear
I come not like your enemy, open up this door
Please open up this door

I keep walking, walking in this dream
My eyes wide open, repeating every scene
Release me now, oh release me now from this spell

Here it comes now, the final surprise
Oh, here it comes now, see it in my eyes
Release me now, oh release me now
Here it comes now, the final surprise
Oh, here it comes now, see it in my eyes
Oh, here it comes now, the final surprise
Oh, here it comes now, see it in my eyes

First you’re gonna conjure
You’re laying down the tricks
You hoodoo my nature, oh manipulate the fix
Always such a hoodoo girl, always such a hoodoo girl
You’re always such a hoodoo girl
Messing with my mind, messing with my mind

Oh, it’s a hellbound, oh trip for me
Such a long time misery
First you say it’s over, oh well it ain’t even start
The power disposition you know is tearing me apart
Always such a hoodoo girl, you’re always such a hoodoo girl
You’re always such a hoodoo girl
You’re messing with my mind, you’re messing with my mind

Oh, it’s a hellbound, oh trip for me
It’s such a long time misery
Always such a hoodoo girl, you’re always such a hoodoo girl
You’re always such a hoodoo girl
You messing with my mind, you messing with my mind
You messing all the time

Oh, it’s a hellbound trip for me, it’s such a longtime misery
Oh, she done hoodooed me, know the fix is in
I need some crossing over, I don’t think now I can win
Always such a hoodoo girl, you’re always such a hoodoo girl
You’re always such a hoodoo girl, always such a hoodoo girl
You messing with my mind, you messing with my mind
You messing with my mind, you messing with my mind
You messing all the time
