The Rope

I was talking to Johnny

'Bout the shape I'm in

With the pinhole eyes

And the darkness within

But the kid don't lie

He says, "We know what we know"

I'm sick of kicking out my life

In the glare of a world that just don't wanna know

Don't let go

Don't let go

Don't let go

Don't let go the rope

But the kid don't lie

Never says a word

But he looked me in the eye

And I stared right down that barrel

Into the bottom of the world

Don't let go

Don't let go

Don't let go

Don't let go the rope

And if you're rollin' easy, go steady

You gotta do what you do to get along

Did they leave you screaming in the rain?

No one told you that they loved you

Were you cheated? Were you robbed?

Just hold on

And don't let go

Don't let go

Don't let go

Don't let go the rope

And if you're rollin' easy, go steady

You gotta do what you can, to get along

They left us screaming in the rain

Yeah, they tossed us with the garbage into the justice of the dark

Oh, no

Hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

Well, no, don't let go (hey, hey, hey)

Don't let go (hey, hey, hey)

No, don't let go

No, don't let go the rope

Don't let go the rope

Don't let go the

Fuck off
