Why do you talk that way Why you so stuck on money Now it's the top of the world But it's beneath the girl I love You used to speak my name And you filled it up And you filled my name up Filled it up with your spirit Did he raise a fire Did you roll up in flames Turn to black and yellow Did you think of me at all And how we cut ourselves On all the sharp tongues in town When you thought that I could Never let you down My baby died in North Carolina When she traded me in at the Newborn City diner Remember when you thought that I Could never let you down Everyone'll let you down I'm just an empty hand And a swollen belly Born upside down Guess I'll die before my time Can't I love you madly When it's not that way When it's not the other way Not the other way around See'mon and walk me home With your blessed body Paint your name on my lips And the rest comes naturally Did you scare yourself And hide that face in the ground When you thought that I could Never let you down My baby died in North Carolina When she traded me in at the Newborn City diner Remember when you thought that I Could never let you down Everyone'll let you down... All good things, and all the bad things They all fall down Everyone'll let you down...
