It'll lift you up
It'll cut you down
Then you'll wind up x'd out, cashed out, burned
Next time it's your turn
I am a hideous thing in the light
Look at all these scars - gotta see that sight
I live alone and travel light
I do all my daytime living by night
Watch out for the fog down by Altamont Pass
Watch out you don't run out of gas
'Cause they want for water, these dusty hills
Fueled up like fire, I'm just trying to pay off these bills
Demon hurts like stone
Graveyard thing - gotta moan
Then the television turns on me
Night sky bright gotta see
It'll lift you down
It'll cut you up
It'll leave you shaken, squealing in the mud
It'll build you down, boil into your blood
Then you turn around
And you refill your cup
