There's a spider crawling on the bathroom mirror

Right on top of my right eye

And I can't stop staring back

How did I get this way?

Take a big look at a living lie

Rags to rags and rust to rust

How do you stand when you've been crushed?

So rags to riches was a bust

Sometimes I dream about it what it's like back home

The railroad tracks and the pussy willow

But I had to leave it and I go back

Whenever my tired head hits the pillow

Rags to rags and rust to rust

How do you stand when you've been crushed?

So rags to riches was a bust

Busted once again

But I'll show them one day

That I can buy and sell the world

One day I'll come through with my american dream

But it won't mean a fucking thing

Rags to rags and rust to rust

How do you stand when you've been crushed?

So rags to rags and rust to rust (don't let me go)

Rags to rags and rust to rust (don't let me go)

Rags to rags and rust to rust (don't let me go)
