So Low

If anyone rises at 6.31 and fakes 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, 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

To all 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 are smoke trails and some may be true
You're listening to me but I'm 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

Yes 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
We never did get it right since we got it so low
