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...")
