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
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
Rags to riches was a bust
Busted once again
But I’ll show them one day that I can buy and sell the world
One day I’ll come through with 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
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
