The Walkabouts - Inauguration Day lyrics

I'm up to my neck In the mud of inauguration day They say it's one in fifty years That storm, that blew my dog away And they say the road has been washed out From rockport to concrete And all the trees are falling down And now, heaven's at my feet My wishes do my beggin' for me And like a beggar they do [learn / laugh] Frozen fingers touch my face They tie a blindfold 'round my eyes And i'm stuck at this roadblock Chasing fog and smoke I guess the price of doing thhat was just Another k**ing joke Wash me down Wash me down Sing for me now Sing for me now Wash me from the hillside And wash me from the dirt Wash me from your worldly claims And wash me, wash me from your hurt 'cause i'm up to my neck In the mud of inauguration day
