Killing Time is Murder

pretty as a Royal Doulton
rich as the royal mint
fickle as a shadow on the mausoleum wall
phosphorescent and candle lit

busted in the maids broom closet
corset up around her neck
like a collar on a dog the girl got round
faster than a Tampa bred greyhound

when all is said and all is done
time will waste everyone

killing time is murder
jibbed out Mary Kay
pimms in the cooler and daughter in the yard
playing California strip croquet

sky daddys got his eye on you
you better keep your vuarnets on tight
but your Brooklyn Hustle and your Fawcett flip
he says sugar youre dy-no-mite

when all is said and all is done
time will waste everyone
when all is said and all is done
time will waste everyone

terry cloth yellow tube top
carton of Virgin Slims
salty as the tepid Sarasota coast line
sinks faster then a Tunny swims

tongue is a sharpened razor
little miss know it some
but get her alone she cries I wanna go home
oh, this little piggy plays dumb

when all is said and all is done
time will waste everyone
when all is said and all is done
time will waste everyone

parking lot almost empty
last tooth in a smile
torrential rain spins the weather vane
oh, summers going out in style

we all leave empty handed
no spare dart for the road
spit shine your Mary Janes
oh, this little piggy runs home
spit shine your Mary Janes
oh, this little piggy runs home

when all is said and all is done
time will waste everyone
when all is said and all is done
time will waste everyone
