I was sucking on a cigarette

Where did that crowd come from?

They're the pennies for the slot machines

Sells you back your dreams

It's fine in hell, boy

It's fine with you



Why don't we try it again now

But my heart won't sing

Until the story's all been told

That she buckled my spine, tattered my soul

Oh ain't it a wonder



Didn't that tall man say

There's gonna be a better way

I'm still lying in the muck

Knocking down with you



Always saying "this girl, that girl,

Look, oh, never never

Can I stay here forever?"

Never, never, never you mind

Find it somewhere over the railing



Didn't you always say

There has to be a better way

Oh I'm still lying in the muck

Knocking down with you



Yes I was sucking on yesterday

Where did that crowd come from?

Said they're the pennies from the slot machines

Sells you back your dream

That's fine in hell, boy

So it's fine with...oh, well now

But didn't that tall man say

There's a better way

Oh oh oh oh oh

and...I'm in love with you
