Phantom Planet - Making A Killing lyrics

Cut your losses

Cut your ties

Start a new life

These things they can tie you up, weigh you down

Wear you in then wear you out

One day you could find yourself suddenly

Underneath a guillotine

You'll have to answer up for

What you want and what that means

That's the difference between

Breaking the bank and

Just breaking even

Making a living and

Making a killing

Why don't you buy yourself a gift for the work you've been putting in

Maybe a little something you could toss in that pit

Of emptiness you're pregnant with

Or maybe you could go and lose yourself altogether

Nothing's getting any better

Oh, no!

Is that what you really want when all is said and done with me?

That's the difference between

Breaking the bank and

Just breaking even

Making a living and

Making a killing

Like bills in a short stack

And bills to the ceiling

Making a living and

Making a killing

Well I found myself suddenly

Underneath the guillotine

For heaven's sake, I'm here, I'm willing

Let's make everyone a killing!
