The rope that's wrapped around me Is cutting through my skin And the doubts that have surrounded me Are finding their way in I keep it close to me, like
Someone's shouting at me You're all going to hell Must not be too far away Sometimes I can never tell My shoes are still as empty A mile they never walked
And so you meet me down at the bar 7th and Cherry, that's where we are And I promise not to take you down too far Beetle takes a dollar, Benz will make
