Lyrics The Tragically Hip

The Tragically Hip

Killing Time

I need your confidence

Need to know you're mine

When it gets right down to the killing time

I know your heart is bad

But it's all I've ever had

We can live our lives on this righteous crime

I got kicked when I was down

And a sailor took my girl to town

Then she licked my wounds with the sea dog's salt

I drank a half a bottle of Jack

I swore I'd never take you back

By the bottle's end I was on that phone

What you call compromise I don't understand

What you call compromise I don't understand

How do you walk away?

How do you walk away?

Walk away from a woman that gone and done you wrong?

How do you walk away?

How do you walk away?

Walk away from a woman that gone and done you wrong?

She had done you wrong

I need your confidence

Need to know you're mine

When it gets right down to the killing time

I know your heart is bad

But it's all I've ever had

We can live our lives on this righteous crime

How do you walk away?

How do you walk away?

Walk away from a woman that gone and done you wrong?

Now, now just try and walk away

You just can't wa walk away

Walk away from a woman that gone and done you wrong

She had done you wrong

How do you walk away?

No, you just can't wa walk away

Walk away from a woman that gone and done you wrong

She had done you wrong

I need your confidence

Need to know you're mine

When it gets right down to the killing time
