Burning Time

by Hot House Orchids

/

lyrics

I was making out, that the yellow team had won some hockey game.
As I stared, at the screen, from the stage.
The bartender Sage says, it’s normally not this slow but there’s a festival in town.
You guys, would have been perfect for that show maybe next time around.

And isn’t life a little funny that way,
where the ones who need to hear have got
hands over their ears.

You sing your songs, but the world don’t hear the rhymes,
and you’re just out there burning time.
It looks like rock and roll, it’s just work with a shot of rye.
And we’re just out there, burning time.

The only people left, is the couple half-asleep, and some cleaning maids. And I’m thinking next time I’ll just grab a seat and let my laptop play. Maybe I could be a DJ.

And isn’t life a little funny that way,
where the ones who need to hear have got
hands over their ears.

You sing your songs, but the world don’t hear the rhymes,
and you’re just out there burning time.
It looks like rock and roll, but it’s just work with a shot of rye.
And we’re just out there, burning time.

Burning time, burning time.
Not much for livin’, when you’re just wishin’ that the hours would fly.

You sing your songs, but the world just walks on by.
And you’re out there burning time.
But I don’t want to burn my time.
You don’t have to burn your time.
No, We don’t have to burn our time.
