My Time Is Not My Own

My Time Is Not My Own

Standing at the station
on platform number nine
That train is right on time
Its comin’ down the line
It pulls in with a groan
My time is not my own
My time is not my own

Staring out the window
Jesus what a sight
Left over from last night
There must have been a fight
I close my eyes and moan
My time is not my own
My time is not my own

And later at the office
I sit back and close my eyes
And dream of Paradise
I’ve been there once or twice
I tell my Dictaphone
My time is not my own
My time is not my own

Bridge
The wolf outside my door
Is coming back for more



I’m gonna wake up someday morning
I might just disappear
Become a mountaineer
Get far away from here
…don’t forget your phone
‘cause your time is not your own
your time is not your own
you’ve got to pay your loan
your time is not your own

The wolf outside your door
Is coming back for more….
