(the creatures)

Originally performed by the creatures. jeff performed it live at astoria, london, on january 18 1995.

I wait and wait

Sleepwalk the hourglass

This way and that

The pendulum swings

Yes there's plenty of time

Always time left to kill

Does time stand still

Or hurtle on by?



Let time unwind

Let all the cogs fall out

Let mans machines

Collapse and rust

Face down in the dust

I'll kiss no other lips

A life time of nothing

Condemned without you



Been so long here

I could die here

Lying by your side

But time won't claim me

Time and me only

I'm just killing time



If the sun went out

I wouldn't mind too much

Who needs the days

To trouble to fill?

If the moon didn't rise

I wouldn't be upset

Who needs moonshine

To cause tears to spill?



I've been so long here

I could lie here

Under dying sky

This thirst and hunger

Holds no wonder

I'm just killing time



I await your return

There's no other one
