Are you afraid of losing everything you have? You're absolutely right.
lyrics
I’m not as far as I’d like to be
From the poor man in the gutter
A lash of a lid and my well trimmed life
Could turn into splinters and clutter
I hear the gravel under the wheels
Of my prestigious luxury car
Still unaware that head over heels
My times are a-changing
And what seemed so far...
...is coming so close, so close I can taste
The ash and the ruin, the loss and the waste
The shreds and the pieces, the dirt and debris
Is all that will remain with me
The laurels I’ve earned, my home and my wife
All could be reduced to a reverie
How can I secure my red velvet seat
From becoming a faint memory?
A bridge for a roof, a matress of tar
And booze is my prime source of hope
Father, I know, when everything’s lost
You will take me home with this rope
The end of it all, so close I can taste
The ash and the ruin, the loss and the waste
The shreds and the pieces, the dirt and debris
Is all that will remain with me
I’m not as far as I’d like to be
From the poor man in the gutter
Father, I know, when everything’s lost
You will take me home with this rope
