I Will Let You Down

Lyrics

When the cats are in heat, and the sky is all brown And you need my hand to hold I will let you down When you bump your bald head on the cold riverbed And you need a guardian angel She will watch you drown As you wake up hot and hogtied, and you pray your old sail rises May your hound-dog enter starving May it chew away your two old useless prizes May I live to see your mailmen all break you by the billions And if they do not break you May you live to watch all your horses jump from buildings And may Jesus lay his foot on the back of your head As your seasick one eyed cat stands there laughing With her tail wrapped around your neck And as you drown in that river I'll be having a smoke With your guardian angels In the sand making love and cracking jokes When you're bloody and naked and the mirror's upside-down And the cats are in heat and the sky is all brown I will let you down Yeah, I will you down I will let you down I will let you down I will let you down
