There’s a spider crawling on the bathroom mirror Right on top of my right eye And I can’t stop staring back How did I get this way Take a big look at a living lie
Rags to rags and rust to rust How do you stand when you’ve been crushed Rags to riches was a bust
Sometimes I dream about it, what it’s like back home The railroad tracks and the pussy willow But I had to leave it and I go back Whenever my tired head hits the pillow
Rags to rags and rust to rust How do you stand when you’ve been crushed Rags to riches was a bust
Busted once again But I’ll show them one day that I can buy and sell the world
One day I’ll come through with my American dream But it won’t mean a fucking thing
Rags to rags and rust to rust How do you stand when you’ve been crushed Rags to rags and rust to rust Don’t let me go Rags to rags and rust to rust Don’t let me go Rags to rags and rust to rust Don’t let me go
