Lyrics

Down on the World By RN Fleming and PM Fleming Ã?Â??Ã?,Ã,©2006
A D
searching for my boots
A D
since I woke up on the floor
they're prob'ly still in bed
with that easy-pleasin' whore.

B F#
slit my wrists with credit cards
B F#
but bleeding is a chore.
Even when those cards get dull
a mailman brings me more.
E D
TV's staring holes in me
I'm lookin' for a door.
B F#
gotta find a doctor
to patch me up before

CHORUS
A D
I'm dead to the world
that's bleeding me.
get it off my head
and let me be; let me breathe
B F#
my rabbit has a furrowed brow
mad because I haven't called
wants to bite my head off now.
something's stinking in the wall
E D
my friends flew off to Rio
for a holiday from me-Oh
B F#
I'm sleeping in a taco shell
soaked in sweat. Oh, what the hell.
E D
the landlord's very kind to me
gave me one more day
B F#
I'm burning all my clothes this week
I'm losing more than way---ay--ay--ay-ay--ay-eight
B F#
no one's on the telephone
so let them disconnect it
credit rating's in the toilet.
let them come, collect it.
E D
no pebbles at my window pane
no snoring in my bed
B F#
no one interrupts me
or the voices in my head eeead eeead eeead
E D
hurricane is knocking
wants to beg my pardon
B F#
Jesus says come out and play
agony in the garden...aaah...ah-ah...ah-ah
(instrumental)
B F#
I'm dressing for the season
in Norwegian fur and rust,
A country lab rat talking
man to man and dust to dust; man to man and dust to dust

E D
TV's staring holes in me
I'm lookin' for a door.
B F#
gotta find a doctor
to patch me up before

CHORUS
A D
I'm dead to the world
that's bleeding me.
get it off my head
and let me be; let me breathe; let me breathe
