Same Way Down

Marilyn took a trip down to the drug store
Get some of that stuff she thinks she needs
She doesn't know what it does or what it's for
Just likes to dress her wounds before they bleed

Me, I'm lonely looking in the mirror
Empty suitcase lying on the bed
I meant to leave here early in the morning
But I just sat around and got myself drunk instead

It's all the same way down
Round and round, in and out
It's only passing time
Walking lines, round and round

How can you tell when a thing is really done?
Does it come right out and kick you in the head?
Is nothing times nothing really one?
Is it better to be alive than to be dead?

It's all the same way down
Round and round, in and out
It's only passing time
Walking lines, round and round

It's all the same way down
Round and round, in and out
It's only passing time
Walking lines, round and round
