down the dip

i put all the love and beauty

in the spirit of the night

and i'm holding my ticket tight

stupidity and suffering

are on that ticket

too

and i'm going down the dip with you

i swear i'm touched but then i'm tired

everyone who tries to tie me

i seem to realize

that my cup overflows

i tumble down and take your hand

and no one even knows

with the broken backs

and the pack of macks

sayin' that's the way it goes

i put all the love and beauty

in the spirit of the night

and i'm holding my ticket tight

stupidity and suffering

are on that ticket

too

and i'm going down the dip with you

i been facin' all the red

i been chasin' all the orange

while the bourgeois breed

all you need is greed

and that quiet remembrance day

i'm gonna pull that chain

'til the heavens rain

and i see them wash away

'cause i've bound myself to virtue

but i'm bound to make a move

if it's less than this

you know i can't approve

i've been hangin' with the hollow man

who never got the groove

now i'm going down the dip with you

i put all the love and beauty

in the spirit of the night

and i'm holding my ticket tight

stupidity and suffering

are on that ticket

too

and i'm going down the dip with you
