Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Worn out joke to keep the flies away
Carried it this far
West side winds keep it steady
Bury the hatchets we find
Could carry that heavy load
I really thought it would matter
[Verse 2]
Farcical hair appears
As a blind side, clean the slate
[Verse 3]
Workin' in the halls of shame
Lay it down in full view, lay it down
[Verse 4]
What the hell were we thinkin'?
'Fore the fire burned out
Can't find you now
I didn't know you then
Loneliness drinks the bitters
Till the cold wind's warm again
[Verse 5]
It's a feel for the game
Mouth open wide, screams and hollers
[Verse 6]
Workin' in the halls of shame
Lay it down in full view, lay it down
[Verse 7]
Gambled once and won, never made a dollar
Beauty fades to gray
Pray the very best will guard her
And provide the way
[Verse 8]
It's a telltale sign
When it's chairs up and time to go
[Verse 9]
Workin' in the halls of shame
Lay it down in full view, lay it down
