Eels - Rags To Rags

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 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 and 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 Rags to riches was a bust Busted once again But I’ll show them one day that I can buy and sell the world One day I’ll come through with 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 Rags to rags and rust to rust Don’t let me go Rags to rags and rust to rust Don’t let me go Rags to rags and rust to rust Don’t let me go
