Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I put all the love and beauty in the spirit of the night
And I'm holding my ticket tight
Stupidity and suffering are on that ticket too
And I'm goin' down the dip with you
[Verse 2]
Swear I'm touched, but then I'm tired
Everyone who tries to tie me
I seem to realize my cup overflows
I tumble down and take your hand, and no one even knows
With the broken backs and the pack of Macks
Sayin', "That's the way it goes"
[Verse 3]
I put all the love and beauty in the spirit of the night
And I'm holding my ticket tight
Stupidity and suffering are on that ticket too
And I'm goin' down the dip with you
[Verse 4]
I been facing all the red, I been chasin' all the orange
While the bourgeois breed all you need is greed
And that quiet remembrance day
You're gonna pull that chain till the heavens rain
And I see them washed away
[Verse 5]
'Cause I've bound myself to virtue, but I'm bound to make a move
If it's less than this, you know I can't improve
I been hangin' with the hollow man who never got the groove
Now I'm goin' down the dip with you
[Verse 6]
And I've got all the love and beauty in the spirit of the night
And I'm holding my ticket tight
Stupidity and suffering are on that ticket too
And I'm goin' down the dip with you
