A letter came this morning And the court is now informing If I don't pay up by Saturday I'll wind up in the tank Money wasn't anything But now it seems like everything It's tearing me in two I guess my ship sank. Desperation dawning She's eternally in mourning He was the best one in the world Now he's the best one lying dead A hopeless situation When I needed a vacation I'm redundant of the line In the factory shed. CHORUS ----------- Mother, I'm falling Mother I'm going down, into the gray I'm going down, into the gray I'm going down, into the gray I'm going down And you're coming with me. ----------- Who are you to tell me What is wrong and what is right If I wanna live the daylight I'll live it all at night Indiscretion is a weapon I can make a true confession Your name is on the bullet And the bullet's in the gun. You live in the lighter world I live in the darker world You don't understand me You're a victim of a book Thou shalt not kill Thou shalt not kill Thou shalt not kill Thou shalt not kill Open up your eyes And keep your mouth shut. CHORUS I did my time for you councilor - fourteen years You made me! CHORUS (extended)
