Street Level
As he watched the stripper show off her implants, He got a hard-on but he felt like crying,
After the fall and the taste of the dirt,
Trying to pick yourself up is much harder than dying,
He cheated on his wife so she got all the money, And as they say he's just left with what he deserves,
But he still dreams of his average ex-wife's body, As he pouts over the stripper's curves.
Siren screams thru the city; can't tell where it's coming from,
But it's easy enough to tell where it's heading,
The seventh seal just broke on a bottle of Jack, And the motion just feels like Armageddon,
He swallows his drink and can't find himself lost, The world's full of reflections every way you turn, But a stranger's eyes hold the truest mirror,
You just never know; all you do is learn.
'You know I really had it all'; he says to his new friend,
'A beautiful wife; a good job and two great kids,
I didn't mean to take the meaning for granted,

But a wrong turn led me to a left turn; here I am on the skids,
They say shame is the deepest river but let me ask you this,
What if the wrong you did was simply a mistake, They call it shame; I call it life; are you with me my friend,
We all seem to go thru hell for Heaven's sake'.
And up; skyward in the towers of Babylon,
Where they build the beast of business on rumor and whim,
The rules of street level don't mean a thing up here,
He looks down; no animosity it simply just doesn't mean shit to him,
He's got his wife on hold and his girlfriend on the line,
He covers the receiver; 'hey Paul what's going on down there',
'Some fucking drunk got hit by a car; coming out of that strip joint',
'Great they've got my car blocked in; babe I can't go no where'.
