Eels - 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 p**y 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 f**ing 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
