Vigilantes of Love
Doin’ Time
[Verse 1]
Comes a time
It's all been stripped away
Comes a time
When it's time to take a good long look and walk away
Comes a time
To lose yourself in song
When survival's the game you play
But you're barely just holding on
[Chorus]
Maybe it's yours
Maybe it's mine
Same flesh and blood
Same crooked line
Backside of the back beat
Yeah, doin' time
[Verse 2]
If my walls are crumbling, can I set a spell?
If you fashion up the foundation
It's all just shot to hell
And my blueprints
Are really so suspect
With my plumb line good and twisted
Ragged measurements
[Chorus]
Maybe it's yours
Maybe it's mine
Same flesh and blood
Same crooked line
Backside of the back beat
Yeah, doin' time
[Harmonica Solo]
[Verse 3]
Comes a time
To let the whole thing go
Comes a time
When you realize
We've all been bought and sold
Yeah, beat up, cut down, turned out of your game
Hey, money moves the lips where once
The spirit was untamed
[Chorus]
Maybe it's yours
Maybe it's mine
Same flesh and blood
Same crooked line
Backside of the back beat
[Chorus]
Maybe it's yours
Maybe it's mine
Same flesh and blood
Same crooked line
Backside of the back beat
Yeah, doin' time
Doin' time
Doin' time
[Harmonica Solo]
