Rags To Rags Lyrics

There's a spider crawling on the bathroom mirror

 Right on top of my right eye

 And i can't stop staring back

 How did i get this way?

 Take a big look at a living lie 

 

 Rags to rags and rust to rust

 How do you stand when you've been crushed?

 So rags to riches was a bust 

 

 Sometimes i dream about it

 What it's like back home

 The railroad tracks and the pussy willow

 But i had to leave it

 Now i go back 

 Whenever my tired head hits the pillow

 

 Rags to rags and rust to rust

 How do you stand when you've been crushed?

 So rags to riches was a bust 

 

 Busted once again

 Well i'll show them one day

 That i can buy and sell the world 

 

 And one day i'll come through my american dream

 But it won't mean a fucking thing 

 

 Rags to rags and rust to rust

 How do you stand when you've been crushed?

 So rags to rags and rust to rust

 Don't let me go
