Trickle Down

(album: Up To Here - 1989)

Old lion's dying, got left behind
Cut your teeth, lose your meat, and, man, it's just a matter of time
Key's to the cuffs, you might be king
That's it, that's all, that's everything

Skeletons come here to dance
Where barrooms beat their brothers into a bloody trance
What's the deal? What did I do?
Who cops all the cops is all I asked of you

Lining up, waiting on the trickle down
Something's up, taking time to get around
Belly up, all the drinks are on the crown
It's just a matter of the trickle down

Twenty miles before the crash
That's the style, for a while, and, man, I think it's going to last
"Hit the breaks," is all you can say
Conductor says we'll save them for another rainy day

Lining up, waiting on the trickle down
Something's up, taking time to get around
Belly up, all the drinks are on the crown
It's just a matter of the trickle down

Old lion's dying, got left behind
Cut your teeth, lose your meat, and, man, it's just a matter of time
Key's to the cuffs, you might be king
That's it, that's all, that's everything

Lining up, waiting on the trickle down
Something's up, taking time to get around
Belly up, all the drinks are on the crown
It's just a matter of the trickle down

Lining up, waiting on the trickle down
Something's up, taking time to get around
Belly up, all the drinks are on the crown
It's just a matter of the trickle down
It's just a matter of the trickle down
It's just a matter of the trickle down
