I Pay My Bills To The Time Collectors

They're Getting More From Me Each Day

I Pay Them Off A Few Words At A Time

But The Spur's Gone From The Moment

And The Moment's Slipped Away

I Used To Feel Like Something Here Was Mine

Now I Pay Them Off A Few Words At A Time



I Reach Into My Pocket Just So I Can Make Some Change

And I Find More Hands Than I Can Ever Shake

And I Hope You Will Forgive Me If I Don't Return Your Call

But There's Someone Watching Every Move I Make

And I've Got More Hands Than I Could Ever Shake



Chorus

I'm Running For My Life Here Out On The Campaign Trail

And The Crowds Will Not Forgive Me If I Lose

And I'd Like To Think I'm Special But I Do Know Otherwise

Excuse Me But I Need To Make The News

'Cause The Crowds Will Not Forgive Me If I Lose



I'm Really Not Complaining Won't You Say Your Name Again

I'm Sorry But That Isn't What I Mean

There's A Prison Called Tomorrow And There's One Called Yesterday

The Only Place Your Free Is In Between

Oh I'm Sorry But That Isn't What I Mean



Chorus
