lyrics

I jumped cause I thought that I could land safely
And I fell down when I crossed, cause I was too hasty
Up ahead I was lost, when the ground came up and ate me

It was nobody’s fault, but I didn’t want to blame me
So I pointed a finger at my lot and the law on down to all the demons that would chase me

around, all around, and on my way down, my own way down

Drank whiskey for my pain, cause then life was good and easy
But then something would nag and pull at the back of my train,
and I end up drowning myself in some pity
laze around for a day maybe two, but then end up getting kind of angry

Take it out on some damn fool who thought that he was better than me
and I’d point my finger and yell about my lot and the law on down to all the demons that chased me

around, all around, and on my way down, my own way down

Woke up and was sore in the jaw,
with some feeling but I couldn’t name it
Ground was wet with thaw of a winter where spring hadn’t came yet
self satisfied smile, I could show them all, cause I had a train to catch

I jumped cause all of them thought that I would never make it
No one to hear the train whistle call
in the early morning where an unmarked grave was set

around, all around, and on my way down, my own way down

Stuck with all the ghosts that wander around
and the demons that had chased him
wait to claim those with minds fraught and unsound,
make use of their anguish
or those with cravings for power and greed for more ground,
we can just call them all politicians

when they have everyone else to fault,
as long as they get to hold on to all of their pieces
hide in their ledgers and inside of the law
on down to the demons that possess them
around, all around, and on their way down, their own way down
