Breakin Down´

Breakin Down´

Gc5 (The)
(album: Never Bet The Devil Your Head)

Cast aside and asunder
But before they put me under
I´ll make a deal with the bounty hunter
For the price upon my head
Walked home to angry faces
So I laced up my laces
And I headed for far off places
Though you´d rather see me dead

The saints have all looked down on me
They´ve shook their heads and frowned on me
They see you´ve made a clown out of me

I´m breakin´ down

I used to strut and swagger
Now I stumble ´round and stagger
From my back I´ll pull your dagger
And keep it by my side
But there´s no room at the stable
And there´s no place at the table
But for the strong-willed and the able
While I´m knocking and denied

I twist my mouth in prayer
Awake but not aware
All I got is this blank and empty stare

And every time he sees my face
He tries to shake me down again
Or break me down, there´s no difference today
