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 it

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 and sell the world



And one day I'll come through

My American dream

But it won't mean a fuckin' 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
