Song Lyrics

Words and music by roddy frame


Chorus:
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 going down the dip with you.

I swear i`m touched but then i`m tired
Everyone who tries to tie me.
`cause i seem to realize
That my cup overflows.
And then 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.

Chorus

`cause i been facin` all the red
Me, i`m chasin` all the orange.
And while the bourgeois breed
All you need is greed
And that quiet remembrance day.
I`m gonna pull that chain
`til the heavens rain
And i see them wash away.

`cause i`ve bound myself to virtue
But i`m bound to be amused.
If it`s less than this
You know i can`t approve.
I`ve been hangin` with the hollow men
Who never got the groove
And i`m going down the dip with you.

Chorus
