about

a song for all those who've had close encounters with the gutter, but somehow missed.

lyrics

Living on the corner
Of Bedlam and Squalor
Tryin to keep my soul
And still make a dollar

Not beat by the pimps
Nor took by thieves
Oh to look in the mirror
And not see a whore
----------------------
I fell down towards the gutter
But never quite landed
I was grabbed by the scruff
Some invisible hand but

It never said why
Nor showed me the way
I just moved toward the light
All night and a day
---------
Oh...

Headlights wet pavement
Worn down boot heels
-----------
Don't you ever say never
You'll cross town to that corner
Cause you'll surely meet a man
Who's looking up at your down

Your dark be the light oh
To his desperate hands
And there's no peace for your own soul
Save to ease the next man's
------------
Oh...

Headlights wet pavement
Worn down boot heels
Night sounds shadows
Torn down boundaries
Transparent lives
So hard to see
----------------
Well living is living
At the end of the day
If you can lay your head down
And honestly say

I got to the end oh
And a little bit more
Living on the corner
Of Bedlam and Squalor

Oh I got to the end
And a little bit more
Living on the corner
