   Your enemies guard cornered you in a yard
   You paid him off and ran
   You knew  he'd understand
   He's  just  a workin man
  (
  )
  But you think he's a fool just a capitalist tool
   Who plays the games of life to tie
   If the tables had been  turned tonight
   There'd be  nothin that his  money could buy - but soon...
   The trap  door gives in under  the wicked weight  of sin
   You fall  down, down, down  farther than  you've ever been
   Yeah, the  trap door falls  open just as you  were smugly hoping
   That you could  cheat and win,  the trap door falls in
   So one escape does not a life make  the earth floats under your feet
   You can't trust  who you meet
   Your  bravery's  a conceit
   It's no longer suspense it's a fear that makes sense
   Pullin you through the ground
   The trap door  makes no sound
   One  day just  not around - Cause...
  (Chorus)
  (Intro2)
   I should have known when I was struck with a stone
   That you were aiming at the moon
   That like  a gas balloon
   You'd  come falling  soon - yeah-eh
  (solo over chorus chords)
  (Chorus) (<- lead with "Yeah the trap door...")
