Midwest
Can't catch a break with a noose
Peacock to pigeon, I felt that change
Pressed my face to the stone
Once strong legs gone lame

I borrow too often and I hate work
Good heart, but what's it worth?
Clay pots to mud
Wall clock stops, but the sundial stays

As my life sails down the toilet
I wish you were here to enjoy it
I've let myself go
In so many ways

Spent too freely and I hate work
Good intentions, what's it worth?

House to hut, car to rust
But the pushcart stays
Can't catch a break with a brick
Pearl to swine, I felt that change
Pressed my face to the road
What was heart, now brain

Train's derailed
But the wheels still spin
Train's derailed
But the wheels still spin

As my life sails down the toilet
I wish you were here to enjoy it
I've let myself go
In so many ways
