Empty Cup

(альбом: Ozark Mountain Daredevils - 1980)

The door is wide and the dogs are calling
Can't keep it shut
The river's dry and the sky is falling
Can't fill 'em up

Oh, can't you feel it
The jig is up
Oh, can't you see it
Empty cup

Your cover's blown and it's down to ashes
The fire is out
Cut to the bone like a hundred lashes
You'll find it out

Oh, can't you feel it
The jig is up
Oh, can't you see it
Empty cup

You hear a sound like a clap of thunder
Lightning struck
You're going down and you're going under
You pushed your luck

Oh, can't you feel it
The jig is up
Oh, can't you see it
Empty cup

The jig is up
