On the bathroom mirror
Right on top of my right eye
And I can't stop staring back
How did I get this way
Take a big look at a living lie
Rags to rags and rust to rust
How do you stand when you've been crushed
So rags to riches was a bust
Sometimes I dream about
What it's like back home
The railroad tracks and the pussy willow
But I had to leave it
And I go back
Whenever my tired head hits the pillow
Rags to rags and rust to rust
How do you stand when you've been crushed
So rags to riches was a bust
Busted once again
But I'll show them one day
That I can buy myself a world
And one day I'll come through
My american dream
But it won't mean
A fucking thing
Rags to rags and rust to rust
How do you stand when you've been crushed
So rags to rags and rust to rust
Don't let me go
Rags to rags and rust to rust
Don't let me go
Rags to rags and rust to rust
Don't let me go
There's a spider crawling On the bathroom mirror Right on top of my right eye And I can't stop staring back How did I get this way Take a big look at a living lie Rags to rags and rust to rust How do you stand when you've been crushed So rags to riches was a bust Sometimes I dream about What it's like back home The railroad tracks and the pussy willow But I had to leave it And I go back Whenever my tired head hits the pillow Rags to rags and rust to rust How do you stand when you've been crushed So rags to riches was a bust Busted once again But I'll show them one day That I can buy myself a world And one day I'll come through My american dream But it won't mean A fucking thing Rags to rags and rust to rust How do you stand when you've been crushed So rags to rags and rust to rust Don't let me go Rags to rags and rust to rust Don't let me go Rags to rags and rust to rust Don't let me go Explain Request ×
