Swallow You Down


I caught you lying again
it's pretty easy if you know how to play
so what you say we make it two out of three
i heard you're dying again
well, what disease have you contracted today?
just as long as you don't give it to me
as you don't give it to me
you're waiting tables again
and you're counting on a generous tip
but then the tipper doesn't always come through
you're in the gables again
getting ready for a fabulous trip
you'd better watch or it could happen to you
when the devil's minions take you down
try to mark a path
something i can follow
when the devil's minions hit the ground
you can point and laugh
cause i won't let them swallow you down
you're on the trestle again
and your toes are hanging over the edge
and your reflection's in the water below
we'll have to wrestle again
but there's a wager that i'm willing to hedge
cause you can bet
i won't be letting you go
when the devil's minions take you down
try to mark a path
something i can follow
when the devil's minions hit the ground
you can point and laugh
cause i won't let them swallow you down
