So Low (Live)

If anyone rises at 6:31

And fakes all day that they're having their fun

They never did get it right

Since they got it so low.

To anyone drinking the morning away

The afternoon will prove a mistake

They never will get it right

Now they've got it so low.

[Chorus]

And we laugh and we drink,

And we teach ourselves not to think.

We never did get it right

Since we got it so low.

To all of the faces that freeze for you there

In your memory when you try not to care

They never disappear down the slow road

For all of those people who bleed by the side

And split from their tongues

And sharpen their knives.

They never will get a life

Now they've got it so low

[Chorus]

Cornfields and pig-tails and fish in the stream

The night when the boys stole the billion dollar dream

From the high-jinx school for girls

Down the road.

Stories are smoke trails

And some may be true.

You're listening to me

But I'm talking to you.

I hope you never fall from grace

If you get it so low.

[Chorus]

And we laugh and we drink

And we find it hard not to think.

We never did get it right

Since we got it so low.
