lyrics

we met in Bent Spur at a necktie party
dancing at the end of a rope
the lightening flash the thunder crash
that was our hope
whispering Smith & Wesson

i'm falling up i'm falling down
but my feet don't touch the ground
the chords go up and the chords go down
but only i don't hear the sound
what is lost can be found
deep inside your buried ground

judgement day came and went
the ropes hit the floor
we stumbled out into the saloon
where the whiskeys strong enough
to clean a printing press
another round? alright i guess

i'm falling up i'm falling down
but my feet don't touch the ground
the chords go up and the chords go down
but only i can hear the sound
what is lost can be found
deep inside your buried ground
