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?

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
