Borrowed Lighter Blues

Time clock lying on the wall...

Watching the door like it owes you cash.

Borrowed lighter in my hand

Flicker shadows in the hall

Speakerphone is buzzing low Waiting

for your name

to call

And it's a long way down

From the words we saved (yeah)

Tick-tock, you're running out of alibis Watch the door,

tell another set of lies Borrowed spark but the fire's going cold

(ooh) Yeah, we're bought and sold!

Speakerphone on the kitchen tile Static cutting through your smile Borrowed flame

has burned my thumb

Watching where the shadows run

Tick-tock, you're running out of alibis Watch the door,

tell another set of lies Borrowed spark but the fire's going cold

(ooh) Yeah, we're bought and sold!

Time clock lying... Watching the door... (shhh)
