So Low

If anyone rises at 6.31
And thinks all day that
They’re having their fun
They never did get it right
Since they got it so low
To anyone drinking the morning away
The afternoon will prove a mistake
They never will get it right
Since we got it so low
And we laugh and we drink
And we teach ourselves not to think
We never did get it right
Since we got it so low
To all of the faces that
Freeze for you there
In your memory when you try not to care
They never disappear down the slow road
For all of those people
Who bleed by the side
And split from their tongues
And sharpen their knives
They never will get a life now
They’ve got it so low
And we laugh and we drink
And we teach ourselves not to think
We never did get it right
Since we got it so low
Cornfields and pig-tails and
Fish in the stream
The night when the boys stole
A billion dollar dream
From the high jinx school
For girls down the road
Stories and smoke trails
And some may be true
You’re listening to me
But im talking to you
I hope you never fall from grace
If you get it so low
And we laugh and we drink
And we teach ourselves not to think
We never did get it right
Since we got it so low
And we laugh and we drink
And we find it hard not to think
We never did get it right
Since we got it so low
Never did get it right
Since we got it so low
