Armageddon's Back in Town

As we pulled into town there was a breakdown As the moonlight hit the town But it was high noon in somebody's head Before the first boot hit the ground Spent the day in Cincinnati on the cell phone Trying to figure out the expense Stabbing fists into drawn-shade darkness Battered by experience There's something to be said for hangin' in there Past the point of hangin' 'round too long Hung out to dry or put away wet All the same when it all goes wrong It's all my fault, it's all my fault When you misconstrue the wonder and the shame All over town, my name's passed around 'Til you can't tell the darkness from the flame You can't tell the darkness from the flame I left my car at the airport And flew to Kansas City in the rain I know enough to know I'm standing here soaked And the weatherman's to blame I left the house empty after sunset With someone else to figure out the stains I take my responsibility For the darkness and the pain It's all my fault Everything's all my fault Guess a butcher know how to trim the fat When it all comes down Armageddon's back in town You can't tell the rabbit from the hat You can't tell the rabbit from the hat The die has been cast Symbolism's so pronounced That there's nothing left to wonder or explain There'll be no healing From the art of double-dealing Armageddon's back in town again Armageddon's back in town again Armageddon's back in town again
