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
