I was sucking on a cigarette

Where did that crowd come from?

They're the pennies for the slot machines

Sells you back your dreams

That's fine in hell, boy

That's fine with you

Why don't we try it again now

My heart won't sing

Until that story's all been told

Yeah she buckled my spine, tattered my soul Oh

Ain't it a wonder

Oh but didn't you always say

There's gonna be a better way

Oh I'm still lying in the muck

Mucking down with you

Did you see this girl, that girl

Look, oh, never never

Can I stay here forever?"

Never, never, never you mind

I'll find it somewhere over the railing

Oh but didn't that tall man say

There's gonna be a better way

Oh I'm still lying in the muck

Mucking down with you

I was sucking on a straight

Where did that crowd come from?

They're all the pennies from the slot machines

Sells you back your dream

That's fine in hell, boy

So that's fine with you

Oh but didn't you always say

There's gonna be a better way

Oh I'm still lying in the muck

Mucking down with you

Lying in the muck now

Mucking down baby with you
