[intro]
Get up, the needle has pricked a little finger
She wants the beautiful child the blood will bring her
You ask a question in the mirror
Alas, no answer could be clearer
[Chorus]
Get up, get up, you're borrowing time
Get up, get up, you're borrowing time
[verse]
Get up, a substitute artist just reprieved you
Beware the flattery ruses have deceived you
The kings of yesterday falling
But you'll come when destiny's calling
[Chorus]
Get up, get up, you're borrowing time
Get up, get up, you're borrowing time
[verse]
I don't want anything anyway
I was happy with what I had yesterday
Who wants the whole weight of the world when it'll drag you down underground?
[verse]
Today she's singing a song called Hallelujah
You stay, she's bringin' the poison apple to you
Sun's up and reveille's playing
You know what everyone's saying
[outro]
Get up, get up, you're borrowing time
Get up, get up, you're borrowing time
Get up, get up, you're borrowing time
Get up, get up, you're borrowing time
