The Rut

Lyrics

[Intro] Come on down To the rut [Chorus] Come on down to the rut Where people sip boredom out a bottomless cup And life is twice as rough When you come back for more, even though you had enough Come on down to the rut Where people get stuck sippin' boredom out a bottomless cup And life is twice as rough When you come back for more, even though you had enough [Verse 1] Two days from now, tomorrow will be yesterday Yet many will remain in the same place anyway Hell plus Heaven, L plus seven Self plus brethren, melt then blend in The one, lust and lackin' fuss, bust a backspin Just begun like Jimmy Castor cut sax in Just imagine your trusted companion Must abandon you for true love with a madman This underhanded life take more than one aspirin Stars die or become has-beens Function fashion, punks in plastic One gigantic rut we must relax in Diligent plannin' for military cannons Famines, tangents, man splits the atom Every single dollar we earn taxed per annum No wonder this cash has a laxative action [Chorus] Come on down to the rut Where people sip boredom out a bottomless cup And life is twice as rough When you come back for more, even though you had enough Come on down to the rut Where people get stuck sippin' boredom out a bottomless cup And life is twice as rough When you come back for more, even though you had enough [Verse 2] The eight runs in circles chasin' it's tail At best movin' forward at the pace of a snail Took rope from a crucifix, replaced it with nails Because hate amongst males is a trait that prevails Took a taste of ale and faced the rail, then Dive into a canyon, a stagnant pale On the way down, I did not look around And covered both ears to drown out the sound Saw a sight in a nightgown, hand outstretched, but No matter how I tried, we could not connect Landed in a pool of every single tear mother wept over Birth and life and love and death and How the hell we get into this mess? I confess if I knew my pen would be laid to rest But I don't, so I keep takin' baby steps And use the rut as a source of infinite depth [Chorus] Now come on down to the rut Where people get stuck sippin' boredom out a bottomless cup And life is twice as rough When you come back for more, even though you had enough Come on down to the rut Where people get stuck sippin' boredom out a bottomless cup And life is twice as rough When you come back for more, even though you had enough [Outro] That's the rut
