Additional info
- It is not known if Freddie contributes backing vocals to this song or not (it certainly sounds like him during the orchestral interlude). Roger did thank his fellow bandmates, and John does appear on It's An Illusion, but this is a tenuous argument at best. Even more unlikely is that Freddie helped Roger co-write (or, at least, arrange) the song; Andy Young's page gives Freddie a co-writer's credit, though he didn't receive one on the original pressing, so it's most likely that, if anything, Freddie merely added his voice to the chorus and nothing else.

Lyrics
I live on a satellite
Sun shines on a sea of steel
Ice-men in kryptonite
Cavemen on wheels
Here in our own small way
Just passing the time of day
Time goes by and we're treading the same old wheel
Killing what we can't steal
Days go by just killing time
Days go by
I'm living in paradise
Sunset across the shield
Paradise ain't so nice
Some raw deal
Here in our own sweet way
Passing the time of day
Time goes by and we're treading the same old wheel
Smothering all that's real
Ring the bell it's killing time
Killing time killing time
Years go by
Just killing time just killing time
I'm taking a fast flight
Straight course through the force fields
I've seen the real sights
Cavemen appeal
Here in our own small way
Passing the time of day
Time goes by and we're treading the same old wheel
Smile but we just don't feel
All fall down it's killing time
Days go by killing time
Just killing time
Just killing time
Time
