Scorpion Hill Lyrics by PUP

Morbid Stuff

2019

[Intro]
Up on Scorpion Hill, watchin' life
Passin' me by in the pale moonlight
And I sat there forever, three sheets to the wind
It's not helpin' my case, the state that I'm in, but
It's not how they told you
My intentions were good
I was just burstin' apart like the end of the ark
Holding on to whatever I could

[Verse 1]
A square of light moves its way through the empty room
Across the stained yellow carpet
Like a ghost of myself in the afternoon
Haunting my basement apartment
I looked into the mirror hangin' behind my door
The glass was cracked and the man staring back
He don't look like me anymore
And if the world is gonna burn
Everyone should get a turn to light it up

[Chorus]
Down and out, I've been on the rocks
I've been havin' some pretty dark thoughts
I like them a lot
Woo

[Verse 2]
Time and time again
Well, I've tried and failed
To get my act together
And I'll admit lately things really went off the rails
I know that you deserve better
Then, in the morning, as I was boarding
The commuter train to work
The boss was calling, he said, "There's been cutbacks
And I'm sorry, you're the first"
And if I can't support the two of us
How can I support a third?

[Chorus]
Down and out, I've been on the rocks
I've been havin' some pretty dark thoughts
And I'm on the brink
Fallin' deep into debt, fallin' deep into drink
I can drown those regrets
I don't have to think

[Bridge]
Now I'm workin' the night shift
Asleep at the wheel
I was burstin' apart like a flame from a spark
Thinkin', "Jesus, this can't be for real"

[Verse 3]
My sweat-soaked mattress
Corner of the room
Cigarettes and matches in the fading afternoon
And a picture of my kid
Yeah, he's smiling, it's the first day of school

[Outro]
She said, "I found the gun, it was buried beneath
The piles of clothes in the room where your son sleeps
And I can't pretend to know how this will end"
