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

Now 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

Well I'll show them one day that I can buy and sell the world And one day I'll come through my American dream

But it won't mean a *** 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
