The Tragically Hip - Killing Time Lyrics

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, 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 ain't 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?
Oh no no just try and walk away, oh you just can't walk away
Walk away from a woman that gone and done you wrong
She ain't done you wrong

How do you walk away? No you just can't walk away
Walk away from a woman that gone and done you wrong
She ain't done you wrong

I need your confidence, need to know you're mine
When it gets right down to the killing time
