Lyrics

Killing Time for a Better Now

Marty says he's just killing time
He's got this trick tucked away in his pocket
This is just the first page of a great big book written by him
Marty's waitin' for his ride to come
To pick him up and take him away to Neverland
Marty says he's just killing time
But he's got this big hole inside his pocket

What he doesn't notice is his dream slipping through
A hole he should just sit down and mend
Marty's old enough to make his own decisions
Marty knows everything
He says he's just...

Chorus:

Killing time for a better now
Saving up some money for the big trip south
We're tiptoeing around something much greater
Check the map, I think we're almost there, I swear

Marty says he is not the only one
With a passive wait-and-see look in his eye
Marty says that they're all fed up
And soon he'll be the answer to their silent prayers

Marty looks at life through distorted reality
This is now sickened by his own sorry state
Marty's sane enough to make his own decisions
Marty's far from knowing everything
He says he's just...

Chorus

Marty's trying just as hard as he can
To make his faded dream come true
Marty's sane enough to make his vision seen
Marty's a lot like me
He's says he's just...
