'The blues is a hard dark life
full of pain an' lonely strife'

by Crusty Lip Rivers

I 'work' up till mornin
then I collapse in my bed
I 'work' up till mornin
then I collapse in my bed
Yes I work up till mornin
Sunrise is sunset instead

I gum my mornin sausage
without a tooth in my head
I gum my mornin sausage
without a tooth in my head
squeeze out another blockage
but I still feel half past dead

This buildin ain't no castle
cept the walls are fallin down
This buildin ain't no castle
cept the walls are fallin down
the landlord is an ass hole
When it rains I nearly drown

I barely see the sun at all
The moon is my only friend
I barely see the sun at all
The moon's my only friend
Through all these dark days I crawl
To my rest that is my end
