Cruel, All The Way Down

Took a walk around the neighborhood

Someone drank a bit more than he should

Harbinger of all the hurt to come

If I don’t get back to where I’m from

Rest my eyes

And try

To stay

Alive

Satisfaction, guarantee no end

Car careening off the road again

And it’s cruel, all the way down

You’re cruel, all the way down

You can laugh, you can cry

You dance right in the aisles

But just walk, don’t run

Just walk, don’t run a-

Harder to be someone that you’re not

Than to not be someone that you are

Take a walk around the block again

I don’t mind

But could I

Get one more

Try?

Falling

Floating

Down

Will I

Ever

Hit the

Ground?

Breakdown ‘round the bend

Way out, way in

Satisfaction, guarantee no end

Car careening off the road a-

Cruel, all the way down

But it’s true, all the way down

You can laugh, you can cry

You dance right in the aisles

But just walk, don’t run

Just walk, don’t run

Away

Dying to be near you

One more time

Then I’ll say goodbye

And it’s cruel, all the way down

I’ve been cruel, all the way down

You can laugh, you can cry

You dance right in the aisles

But just walk, don’t run

Just walk, don’t run

Away

She plays the bass guitar

A red and white guitar, but I

Don’t get to hear her anymore

Got caught behind the wheel and I

Can’t get out in the middle of the ride…
