Oh this hurricanes blowing us thin

This never ending swirl of American sin

Where I strayed on my knees to a bottomless cage

Where they throw dollar bills and hope to be saved

The poshest scarf on the warmest day

Its enough to make you give up .she says...

I know I know I know it shows


As we sleep in this broken Cadillac

We watch the world leave it doesnt look back

I gotta say thatwhen my heart attacks

Dont return itit will fire right back...

So lets just lie here as they paint us black


Oh this earthquake is shaking our hands

Free at the wrists just as we started a dance

The hardest thing next to diamond rings

Is the coats we have to wear just to make ends meet

I got this year and fifty more to beat

Its enough to make you give up.she says

I know I know I know.so let go


The nervous ticks only the holy get

The country treats as the cities get sick

The lunatics and the Harlem tricks

The country treats as we all get sick
