No Way Down |
| Meet the son of a government man |
| And a pillar of salt |
| I was born with blood on my hands |
| And have all the signs of a bleeding heart |
| Living high on a giant hog |
| On a mountain so steep |
| Keep your head in a hollow log |
| As the ruling fog are about to creep |
| What have we done? |
| How’d we get so far from the sun? |
| Lost, lost in an oscillating phase |
| Where a tiny few catch all of the rays |
| Out beyond the western squalls |
| In an alien land |
| They work for nothing at all |
| They don’t know the mall or the layaway plan |
| Dig yourself a beautiful grave |
| Everything you could want |
| Maybe those invisible slaves |
| Are too far away for a ghost to haunt |
| What will we charge? |
| Letting go of a claim so large |
| Oh, all of our working days are done |
| But a tiny few are having all of the fun |
| Get used to the dust in your lungs |
| Is there no way down |
| From this peak to solid ground |
| Without having our gold teeth |
| Pulled from our mouths? |
| Make me a drink strong enough |
| To wash away the dishwater world they said was lemonade |
| Walk with me after the show |
| Maybe we can find a way through the minefield in the snow |
| What will they charge? |
| Letting go of a claim so large |
| Oh, all of our working days are done |
| But a tiny few are having all of the fun |
| Apologies to the sick and the young |
| Get used to the dust in your lungs |
