We're all living on borrowed time, <br />Near the brooding sea and brine. <br />And we grow our primate's spine, <br />In every clime. <br /> <br />Since we crawled out from 'neath the grime, <br />And evolved to a species – prime. <br />We've been living on borrowed time, <br />On borrowed time. <br /> <br />On borrowed time. We feed and dine. <br />On borrowed time. In swill like swine. <br />On borrowed time. We sup our wine. <br />On borrowed time. On borrowed time! <br /> <br />On borrowed time. In slow decline. <br />On borrowed time. No season shines. <br />On borrowed time. No reason rhymes. <br />On borrowed time. On borrowed time! <br /> <br />We're all living on borrowed time, <br />Acting out our roles in mime, <br />As if you cannot tell that I'm confused. <br />We're all living on borrowed time, <br />And we're captured hook and line. <br />Enraptured lives entwine as minds unloose. <br /> <br />On borrowed time, by frantic chime, <br />Of doomsday clocks and scam sub-prime. <br />On borrowed time, we count the dime. <br />On borrowed time. On borrowed time! <br /> <br />From that day of Eve's droll crime, <br />When dull Adam su*ked the lime, <br />We've been living on borrowed time, <br />On borrowed time. <br /> <br />On borrowed time. By dread defined. <br />On borrowed time. Knee-deep in slime. <br />On borrowed time. We moan and whine. <br />On borrowed time. On borrowed time! <br /> <br />On borrowed time. To heights sublime. <br />On borrowed time. Statistics climb. <br />On borrowed time. Who reads the signs? <br />On borrowed time. On borrowed time!<br /><br />David SmithWhite<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/song-on-borrowed-time/
