Trickle Down System Lyrics by Giant Sand

Swerve

0

Grandpa's house lay a bit embattered
The family split up since his burial
Bitter fights over the family business
I tell ya, if he were here today....
He'd say life compared to death
Is so surreal
My dreamhouse burns to ashes
Everynight before the dawn. sA
I rummage through and find a familiar
Bone to carry on. All those
Memories I thought were long gone
I got to let them alone. Let them
Alone

Chorus: And all that you have
Is easily taken
All that you give
Usually mistaken
Take off your dresses
Lay naked on the bed...
The Trickle Down System
Comes a pouring into
Your head
When we were younger, we were more
Like purveyors: Purverse, Purposeful
And full of neglect. These days we
Have been reduced to Surveyors:
More Severe, More Soulful, and
Actually capable of some respect

Chorus: Take off your uniform
Passed the point of no return
Ashes to ashes. return to cinder
Maybe I'm a ponderer.... Sweet drunk
On a pond of her tears

Chorus: Take off everything
