Livin' Thing - Electric Light Orchestra

I can't get enough of what I need People all around me lettin' me bleed Waitin' for the darkness to blind the heat I make my livin' out on the streets Dirty livin' Dirty livin' I can't wait any longer To set myself free Flashin' lights keep runnin' through my brain Someone find the doctor to ease all the pain Traffic in the city is burnin' me out She makes me wanna jump up and shout Dirty livin' Dirty livin' I can't wait any longer To set myself free I can't wait any longer To set myself free Not no more, no more I gotta get away Dirty livin', dirty livin' Dirty livin' Mainline out of China is due in tonight Mother, sister, brother are lyin' uptight I can hear the jukebox poundin' out loud I take my fury out on the crowd Dirty livin' Dirty livin' I can't wait any longer To set myself free I can't wait any longer To set myself free Not no more, no I gotta get away Dirty livin', dirty livin' It's gettin' to me, it's gettin' to me I can't wait, I can't wait Dirty livin', dirty livin', yeah Why don't you set me free?

Well, you can call out the sheriff and the highway patrol 'Cause there's a fool on the road careenin' out of control Hard liquor, fast women, I just can't let him be Lord, I wish hard livin' didn't come so easy for me Well, I keep my motor runnin', got my beer on ice And my idea of heaven is a pair of dice Seven come on eleven, set this poor boy free Lord, I wish hard livin' didn't come so easy for me Bright lights, Saturday night Well, I musta had a couple, I'm a-feelin' alright My cupcake can shimmy and shake Spend more money than anybody makes Well, gimme some more high octane juice You know there ain't no cure, forget your honky tonk blues And if they come up with somethin' I'll develop an immunity Lord, I wish hard livin' didn't come easy for me Out on the town just a-foolin' around And I got my mind on the lost and found Step up, no need to be shy You know that every pretty woman's got a ticket to ride Well, my tires are flat and now I'm out of gas I always promised myself I'd let the next one pass Lord, I wish that that a promise didn't break so easily And I wish hard livin' didn't come so easy for me Hey, I wish hard livin' didn't come so easy for me

Well I'm swimming in debt and the money's all gone I ain't got nothing I can call my own Worked my fingers to the blood and bone For a big disappointment when my paycheck comes If I only had a little I could do just fine I could put a downpayment on some peace of mind But I'm hangin' on the end of a credit line Lord I'm just livin' on borrowed time My truck's financed through the union bank But I don't have enough to even fill the tank I'd take you for a drive girl but I just can't 'Cause the damned old motor won't even crank Our trailer's plenty big if we lived outside But I can't swing the payments on a double-wide You'd better hold a place in that welfare line 'Cause I'm just living on borrowed time If it comes real cheap but it don't come free Then it stays off-limits to a guy like me They say it brings trouble having money to burn I reckon that's a lesson I won't have to learn Lord, no (Break) Well if it comes real cheap but it don't come free Then it stays off-limits to a guy like me They say it brings trouble having money to burn I reckon that's a lesson I won't have to learn Yeah, I bought my wife a little diamond ring Her mom said, "Huh, can't even see that thing" It'll be paid off when I'm sixty-five If I'm lucky enough to still be alive Even if I was to up and pass away My family doesn't have enough to dig my grave No tombstone, just an old wood sign saying "He was just livin' on borrowed time" Out there swinging from a credit line Lord I'm just livin' on borrowed time Lord I'm just livin' on borrowed time

Wish I could come home from working And not have her checking my breath I'm tired of her turning her questions Into the Gettysburg Address There's no reason why she shouldn't trust me The fact that she don't makes me mad Can't count all the times that I've begged her Honey, just let my past be the past I used to drink like a fish and run like a dog Without a whole lotta shit not committed by law People called me the Picasso-of-painting-the-town I've finally grown up I've finally changed in that someone I was To somebody I am But she finds it hard to believe that she's turned me around I know I'll probably die before I live all my Up-to-no-good-livin'-down Gave up on bringing her flowers That just kept making things worse I ain't been guilty of nothing But being the man she deserves I used to drink like a fish and run like a dog Without a whole lotta shit not committed by law People called me the Picasso-of-painting-the-town I've finally grown up I've finally changed in that someone I was To somebody I am But she finds it hard to believe that she's turned me around You know I'll probably die before I live all my Up-to-no-good-livin'-down I used to cuss like a sailor and howl at the moon And I woke up some morning with I-don't-know-who But I never dreamed back then I'd have to pay for it now You know I'll probably die before I live all my Up-to-no-good-livin'-down Yeah, I'll hate to die before I live all my Up-to-no-good-living-down
