lyrics

i'm looking for
to buy me some time
got nothing to live for
but i'm scared of dyin'
yes, i'm looking for
to buy me some time
i'd sign on the dole
if it puts my soul on
someone else's dime

who are you
to say i done wrong?
i got nothing to show you
i've been down so long
yes, and who are you
to say i done right?
well i say that i built
that wall of guilt i pace every night

but i ain't nobody's jester
or fool who sits on high
in st. alban's choir
singing in the sky

i'm just looking for
to buy me some time
i got no one to care for
but i keep on tryin'
yes, i'm looking for
to buy me some time
i'd fan at the flame
if it gets my name
upon the dotted line

well, they're making me an offer
but it's one i can't afford
i've been cheated by
the left hand of the lord
