Fretblanket - Killer In A Former Life lyrics

rate me

I'm a small time player in a big time game<br />

And that's really all I'm worth.<br />

I think I've trod these boards before,<br />

Is it more than I deserve?<br />

I must have been a killer in a former life,<br />

It makes no sense this punishment you see.<br />

It used to be magnificent<br />

To be constantly on call.<br />

Now I'm nearly twice as glad<br />

Just to be alive at all,<br />

The real people in these towns,<br />

Are kicking off their shoes tonight without me...<br />

Oh you are awful but I love it,<br />

You are awful but no, no, no, you're the best!<br />

And I'm the worst I've ever been,<br />

And I'm waiting for my time to leave you far behind.<br />

I never cared for anything,<br />

I imagine people guessed.<br />

They wanted me to play along,<br />

It's not something I'd suggest.<br />

It doesn't really matter what you achieve,<br />

As long as you enjoy yourself, apparently.<br />

Oh you are awful but I love it,<br />

You are awful but no, no, no, you're the best!<br />

And I'm the worst I've ever been,<br />

And I'm waiting for my time to leave you far behind.<br />

I thought I'd save my life,<br />

Save it up till I could find it useful.<br />

I thought I'd bide my time,<br />

Save it up till I could find it useful.<br />

Just another day, just another week, just another month<br />

And I'm already halfway out to lunch!
