If anyone rises
at six-thirty-one
And fakes
all day that they're
having their fun
They never did
get it right
since they
got it so low
To anyone drinking
the morning away
The afternoon will
prove a mistake
They never will
get it right
Now they've
got it so low
And we laugh
and we drink
And we teach ourselves
not to think
We never did
get it right
since we
got it so low
To all of the faces
that freeze
for you there
In your memory when
you try not to care
They never disappear
down the slow road
For all of those people
who bleed by the side
And split from
their tongues
And sharpen
their knives
They never will
get a life now they've
got it so low
And we laugh
and we drink
And we teach ourselves
not to think
We never did
get it right
since we
got it so low
Cornfields and
pigtails and
fish in the stream
The night that the boys
stole a billion dollar
dream from the
high-jinx school for
girls down the road
Stories are smoke trails
and some may be true
You're listening to me
but I'm talking to you
I hope you never
fall from grace
if you get it so low
And we laugh
and we drink
And we teach ourselves
not to think
We never did
get it right
since we
got it so low
And we laugh
and we drink
And we find it hard
not to think
We never did
get it right
since we
got it so low
We never did
get it right
since we
got it so low
