Tie Down The Dying Lyrics

so march is in like a lion

and she marches out like a lamb

you can't blame a girl for trying

we all need a helping hand

maybe someone who could drag me up

out of my dirty dreams

pick me up and dust me off

so i might spread some relief



you build your life out of diamonds

and you brush away the dirt

and you brush away the problems



and you wonder what

that good life's got

miles of rope to

burn



there's a girl tied to the train tracks

down the road from your house, singing

"the western world could mark a throwback

spaghetti dangling from their mouths"

if life is sex and entertainment

then i die some everyday

i'll count my losses and cash my chips in

i might better spend my pay



you build your life out of diamonds

and you brush away the dirt

and you push away your problems



and you wonder what

the good life's got

piles of rope to

tie down the dying



you can stop the train...

just pull the brake...
