Slack Pile Rock 'N Roll

down & out

I been down so long it's like up to me
I been hidin' my head down in Tennessee
Been lookin' for candy, been waitin' in line
She says it tastes like shit but it sure looks fine

Stollin' through the city
When the leaves are fallin' from the trees
C'mon kitty, kitty
You be wakin' up with the fleas

Guess we're never satisfied with what we got
Doesn't matter what ya take, no matter how much
There's a principle lack so hard to clutch
Been pampered so long now i need that crutch – that crutch

When you're feelin' high though you're all down low
When you say goodbye with no place to go
It's the chemistry between you and me
You just can't choose what it's gonna be
When you take a chance you just hit the rocks
And the pain grows strong but you just can't stop
Like a lottery inside o'me
When I just wanna know who I'm supposed to be again

Way to long wastin' my capacities
Comin' all back when you keep wastin' me
With your head in the clouds an' your ass in debris
I know you're no good but that's what I need

Hey little brittle
Baby what you got in store
Miss oh so uncommital
Won't ya gimme just a little more

Said I been down so long it's like up to me
Hidin' my head down in Tennessee
Been lookin' for candy, been waitin' in line
She says it tastes like shit but it sure looks fine – so fine

When you're feelin' high though you're all down low
When you say goodbye with no place to go
It's the chemistry between you and me
But you just can't choose what it's gonna be
When you take a chance you just hit the rocks
And the pain grows strong but you just can't stop
Like a lottery inside o'me
When I just wanna know who I'm supposed to be again
