The rope that's wrapped around me Is cutting through my skin And the doubts that have surrounded me Are finding their way in I keep it close to me, like
Someone's shouting at me You're all going to hell Must not be too far away Sometimes I can never tell My shoes are still as empty A mile they never walked
And so you meet me down at the bar 7th and Cherry, that's where we are And I promise not to take you down too far Beetle takes a dollar, Benz will make
're havin' a breakdown So you're losin' the fight So you're havin' a breakdown And I'm drivin' and cryin' Unraveled and flyin' I'm comin' to your breakdown
We were all wounded in some domestic war I found you to settle my score You looked like father You felt like mother My mind told my heart There is no

The rope that's wrapped around me Is cutting through my skin And the doubts that have surrounded me Are finding their way in I keep it close to me
