Eels - Rags To Rags lyrics

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 pussywillow

But I had to leave it

Now 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

Well 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 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
