Road Leads Down

Map the crooked tangle of sin

would take eternity to unravel

the rarefied air is thin

unbreathed down in the rabble

it's all wrong, it's taken so long

to build this road that leads down



If you're not a silver but a tin

you fill your bucket up with gravel

so well-trained to think this has been

the only path we could ever travel

it's all wrong, it's taken so long

to build this road that leads down



Last fair deal's gone down

it's false hope on which we're feeding

grab a neckhold on the motherlode

cut its gut and leave it bleeding

it's all wrong, it's taken so long

to build this road that leads down



it's all wrong, it's taken so long

to build this road that leads down
