Well there's a dirty road where you roam
It's running low on velvet for you to lay your weary head
You move so fast but your going nowhere
Now your bloods run cold and your looking at the rope
You lie awake at night and you never close your eyes
And you wish away your ailing life
Just because your walking and your breathing
Does not mean that you've been living
Everyone you know they've been living
As you stay dying
Tried each and every way but not the one
That helped them find their healing
Oh my friend tell me
When you go home alone at night
Does it feel like the needle is closer than all your friends
And it gets hard to stay living
Well there's a dirty road where you roam
It's running low on velvet for you to lay your weary head
You move so fast but your going nowhere
Now your bloods run cold and your looking at the rope
