[Verse 1]
I made a tugboat fly, made a python crawl
I'm so cold, I turned summer into fall
Made the thunder sing, put lightning in a jar
Done everything there is to do, except go too far

[Chorus]
I'm killing time, it ain't killing me
I'm killing time, it ain't killing me
When I die, you better second line
But for now
I'm killing time, it ain't killing me

[Verse 2]
Made the weak feel strong, kings look like fools
The teacher gave me straight A's, I didn’t even go to school
I juggled sorrow like it was a toy
I lived the life of a hundrеd men, when I was still a boy

[Chorus]
I'm killing time, it ain't killing mе
I'm killing time, it ain't killing me
When I die, you better second line
But for now
I'm killing time, it ain't killing me
[Verse 3]
I squeezed water from a turnip, lemonade from the sun
Fought a war on two fronts, didn't even have a gun
But I think I'll take it easy now, and cash in my chips
Kick up my feet, boys, and collect my tips

[Chorus]
I'm killing time, it ain't killing me
I'm killing time, it ain't killing me
When I die, you better second line
But for now
I'm killing time, it ain't killing me
